Nintendo to drop Apple and Google account log-ins early next year

Nintendo is phasing out support for Google and Apple sign-ins on its accounts. Users are being urged to set up a standard password or passkey before January 26 to maintain access.

Nintendo has announced via a support page that it will remove the option for users to sign into their accounts using third-party Google and Apple credentials early next year. The exact timing of the removal will depend on system change progress, but the company is advising users to establish a password or a passkey ahead of January 26. While Nintendo has not disclosed the reasoning behind the removal of these login methods, the change requires account holders to update their credentials to avoid any disruptions. Users can register a passkey by navigating to the account settings page and utilizing device authentication methods.
