Nintendo Account adds 2-step verification

A new security method is being offered for Nintendo Account users. 2-step verification has been added, which offers additional protection.

You can enable the setting here. If you choose to do so, you’ll be asked to enter a code displayed from an app on your smart device along with your password when signing in to your Nintendo Account.

Just to be clear, this is entirely optional. But if you’d like to make your account more secure, the option is there.
