Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Account) Guides

Nintendo Switch is a handheld and home console whose games, eShop purchases and online play are tied to a Nintendo Account, which makes that account a target for hackers. The main risks are phishing messages that imitate Nintendo, reused passwords that let attackers break in, fake eShop gift card or free-currency offers, and chats with strangers in some online games. Turning on 2-step verification, using a unique password and setting up Nintendo Switch Parental Controls help keep the account and its payment details safe.
