Players across Riot’s various titles, including League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics, and Valorant, will get in-game cosmetics just for activating 2FA. So, If you haven’t enabled 2FA yet, you should! Besides receiving gifts, you’ll be protecting your password, payment information, and all your collections.
