Two-Step Authentication comes to Nintendo Account

[Marc]

Nintendo has added an extra layer of security to Nintendo Accounts. It seems like two-step authentication is now available for Nintendo Account users - https://accounts.nintendo.com/security

Let's say someone was able to obtain your password. They wouldn't be able to access your account unless they get passed Google's two-step verification system Nintendo has set up. It's just scanning a QR code from your phone.

Are you guys going to use this feature to secure your Nintendo Account?

And just finished setting that up

Of course 2FA is a great idea, and it's surprising it's taken Nintendo this long. Whenever something has 2FA that I can set up on an authentication app, I'll always set it up since it's just extra security just incase. Sure it's still not 100% secure since well, nothing is, but it's a lot better then just having a code sent to your email, or no extra protection at all.
