Nintendo will stop allowing Google and Apple accounts to be linked to Nintendo Accounts from 26 January 2027; the change may take effect later if system work is delayed. Afterward, users will no longer be able to sign in to Nintendo using a Google or Apple account, or create a Nintendo Account through either service. The My Nintendo Platinum Points mission for linking a Google account will also end. People who currently rely on Google or Apple sign-in should prepare to use their Nintendo Account credentials instead.
To sign in after the change, use the email address or Sign-In ID and password registered to the Nintendo Account, or a passkey. A passkey lets users authenticate with a device’s security features, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition, and can be registered to the account in advance. Anyone who has forgotten or never set a Nintendo Account password can request a reset email from the sign-in page. If the email does not arrive, allow time for delivery and add [email protected] to the email account’s address book or safe-sender list. Users who can no longer access their registered email address, or who still cannot receive a reset message, should contact Nintendo for assistance.
