Nintendo Switch (Nintendo Account) Guides

Nintendo Switch is a hybrid games console that links to a Nintendo Account for online play, eShop purchases and friend lists. Main risks include phishing messages and fake eShop gift card offers, account takeover through reused passwords, unwanted friend requests or voice chat from strangers in games, and unplanned spending. These can be reduced with 2-step verification, a unique password and the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app.
