Nintendo to end Google and Apple login support in January 2027

Nintendo says the service for logging in with a Google or Apple account will end on January 26, 2027. After this date, users will not be able to use Google or Apple information to log in or create new Nintendo Accounts. Nintendo also notes that system progress could cause the exact end date to face delays.

Reports say the My Nintendo Platinum Points promotion for linking Google accounts to a Nintendo Account will also be discontinued. Once the service ends, users must log in using a Nintendo Account email address or login ID with a password, or use a Passkey. Passkeys allow login via facial recognition or fingerprints.

Nintendo says users who are already logged into a device may be able to continue using it without signing in again. If a login screen appears, they will need to use their Nintendo Account credentials instead. Reports say Nintendo advises users who have lost access to their registered email to contact customer support to update their address. Nintendo warns that users who lack access to their email and have not set up a Passkey may face difficulties.
