Prime Gaming subscribers, VCT viewers, and regular Valorant players already benefit from freebies, but Riot has new plans to reward those extra cautious with their accounts’ security.

In Valorant, cosmetics can cost an arm and a leg. Due to the rarity of skins, collectors often stack up items that are time-limited and hence, highly sought-after. So, it’s crucial to double-check all locks in order to protect your valuable inventory. However, by enabling 2FA, players will be handing the keys to Riot’s credible hands to protect their accounts.

Now, every time you attempt to sign in, you’ll receive an email containing a unique six-digit code. Enter that code into the prompt then continue logging in as normal.
