Starting January 26, 2027, Nintendo will disable login via linked Google or Apple accounts. Users can no longer create new Nintendo Accounts using these methods. The change affects existing accounts with linked profiles, which will lose access unless updated.
Nintendo encourages users to transition to Passkey authentication or modify account information through official channels. The move signals a shift toward proprietary account security, phasing out third-party identity providers for the Nintendo Network ID system.
