Nearly all games these days offer in-app purchases. To keep your banking and personal information safe, having a dedicated email for every game you play is a good idea.

This way, if a single account for any given game is compromised, all the others will remain safe, and you will mitigate financial loss.

Ideally, you should create a new email address for each game and ensure you aren’t using your personal or work email for any of the games you play. Also, be sure to set up two-factor authentication on your email account login and your Epic Games account login.

This way, whenever you log into your accounts, you will get a pop-up window requesting a second layer of information before you are granted access to the account. This adds a layer of security, making it significantly harder for an attacker to gain unauthorized access.

Link Your New Email Address and Epic Games Account

Once you have set up your email account, you need to register it with your Epic Games account.

If you are setting up an Epic Games account for the first time, you will have to go through the standard sign-up procedure and add your gaming email address when prompted for that information.

If you are a heavy gamer or have many different emails for various tasks, you can invest in a quality login manager. This can be a browser-based plugin or an app on your phone.

You can securely note down all your email IDs as well as the passwords associated with them. Some top-tier account managers will also generate secure passwords for you that you can use with the accounts.

It’s also a good idea to frequently change your passwords.

You should use long passwords with a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, as well as numbers and symbols. Try not to use things like your name, your gaming name, a name of a city, or anything that is easily identifiable.
