Nintendo will discontinue the option to link Google and Apple accounts to Nintendo Accounts from 26 January 2027. After the change, people will no longer be able to sign in to a Nintendo Account with either service or create a new Nintendo Account using a Google or Apple account. The My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that rewards users for linking a Google account will also end. The exact time the change takes effect may be delayed while Nintendo carries out system work. Anyone already signed in on a device may not need to log in again immediately, but future sign-ins will require a Nintendo Account email address or Sign-In ID and password, or a passkey.
Nintendo recommends registering a passkey, which uses a device’s authentication features, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, in place of a password. Users who have not set a password or have forgotten it can request a reset email from the Nintendo Account login page. If the message does not arrive, they should allow time for delivery and add [email protected] to their contacts or safe-sender list; if it still does not arrive, they should contact Nintendo. People who can no longer access the email address registered to their account must also contact customer service for help updating it.
