If you haven’t enabled 2-step verification on your Nintendo Account, you may want to consider doing so. Recently, a notable amount of Switch owners have claimed that their accounts have been accessed without consent.

The news started to circular after Twitter user Pixelpar said that his account was accessed multiple times from various locations. A quick look at social media indicates that it’s not an isolated incident, as many users have been affected in a similar way.
