Discontinuation of Google and Apple accounts linking to Nintendo Accounts

Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch - OLED Model

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?

Please contact us for help updating your registered email address.
