https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/24/21234205/nintendo-account-hack-nnid-breach-security-hacking-attempt

Nintendo estimates about 160k accounts were accessed in a recent hacking attempt.

Go to your My Nintendo account, go to Account Settings (upper-right corner), then on the settings page, go to Sign-In and Security Settings and at the bottom is an option for 2-Step. It will require you to get Google Authenicator.

Glad I managed to do this back when I was migrating away from Apple's iCloud Keychain. Logging into every account and looking for 2FA was such a headache but I guess it worked out.

I don't think I was hacked, and the NNID is the only way I can login.

Holy shit, even Nintendo's 2FA is inconvenient and out of touch. Rather than just using your email or a phone number, you need to install Google Authenticator on your phone.

At least any authenticator app works, though they recommend Google Authenticator for some reason.
