How do I recover my Epic Games (Fortnite) account if I've forgotten my password?

Asked 6 months ago
If a user has forgotten their Epic Games account password, there is a straightforward process for account recovery. First, the user should navigate to the Epic Games login page. On this page, they will find an option labeled "Forgot Your Password?" Clicking on this link will direct them to a password recovery page where they will be prompted to enter the email address associated with their Epic Games account. Once the email address is submitted, an email with instructions to reset the password will be sent to that address. It is important for the user to check their inbox, as well as any spam or junk folders, for this email. The instructions provided will typically include a link that leads to a secure page where the user can set a new password. When creating a new password, it is advisable to choose one that is strong and unique to enhance account security. After resetting the password, the user should be able to log in to their Epic Games account without issue. If any complications arise during this process, it may be beneficial to explore the Epic Games web page for additional support and guidance on account recovery options.
