Nintendo removes Google and Apple account login

Nintendo is deprecating Google and Apple OAuth support for its account services, with a tentative sunset date of January 26, 2027.

Post-transition, the company will mandate native email/password or passkey authentication for all Nintendo Accounts.

This change also marks the end of the My Nintendo Platinum Points rewards integration for those third-party providers.


What is going to change?

After the planned date, users will no longer be able to create new Nintendo Accounts using their Google or Apple credentials. The My Nintendo Platinum Points rewards program associated with linking these accounts will also cease to operate.

How will you connect in the future?

If you use this method to log in to your account, you will need to use one of the following methods from now on:

  • Your Nintendo Account email or username and password.
  • The digital security key (passkey) method.

A Nintendo Account remains essential for those who make digital purchases or play games on more than one console.

What to do if you don't remember your details

If you need to log in and can't remember your details, you can use the recovery process on Nintendo's website. If you no longer have access to the email address associated with your account, you will need to contact Nintendo Customer Support for assistance.
