EGS SMS Verification

EGS SMS verification lets you confirm your Epic Games Store account with a virtual number and boost its security. The SMS code that arrives completes verification without sharing your personal number.

EGS (Epic Games Store) is Epic Games' digital game store for PC and mobile devices, known for titles like Fortnite as well as free-game campaigns. To protect accounts and purchases, the Epic Games Store offers phone number verification and SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA), adding an extra security layer against unauthorized access.

To verify with a virtual number, you take a number from the panel, enter it in the phone field within the EGS account security settings, and type the SMS code that arrives. This method is handy for players who want to enable 2FA without sharing a personal number, create an account to take advantage of free-game campaigns, or meet specific regional requirements. The code shows in the panel quickly.

Because purchases and a library may be tied to your gaming account, never share your verification code and use only official Epic Games interfaces; gaming accounts are a frequent target of phishing attempts. A virtual number is fine for passing the initial SMS check; but if you bind 2FA permanently to the number, you'll need access to it when signing in later.
