Discontinuation of Google and Apple accounts linking to Nintendo Accounts
Announcement of the discontinuation of the ability to link Google and Apple accounts to Nintendo Accounts.
As of January 26, 2027*, it is not possible to link a Google or Apple account to a Nintendo Account.
*The exact end time may be delayed depending on the progress of the system change work.
This means the following:
- You cannot use a Google or Apple account to log in to a Nintendo Account.
- You cannot create a new Nintendo Account using a Google or Apple account.
- The My Nintendo Platinum Points mission to link your Google account to your Nintendo Account is also discontinued.
We apologize for any inconvenience to those who used a Google or Apple account to log in to their Nintendo Account.
How do I log in after the discontinuation of service?
If you are already logged in to your Nintendo Account on a device, you may not have to log in again. If the login page does appear, please log in using the email address or Sign-In ID and password for your Nintendo Account, or a Passkey.
What is a Passkey?
A Passkey is a login method where you can use your smart device's authentication methods, such as fingerprint or facial recognition, instead of a password.
Register a Passkey to your Nintendo Account for an easy and more secure login experience.
What should I do if I have not set or have forgotten my Nintendo Account password?
Go to the Nintendo Account login page, then select Forgot your password? and follow the instructions to send yourself a password reset email.
What should I do if I have not received the password reset email?
It may take some time for the email to arrive. Try adding no-reply@accounts.nintendo.com to the address book and safe-sender list of your email to ensure that you receive the appropriate emails.
If you have not received the email after waiting a while, please contact us.
I no longer have access to the registered email address. What should I do?
