Nintendo has announced that it will end the "Quick Login" service for Nintendo Accounts on January 26, 2027, at 16:00. From then on, users will no longer be able to log in to their Nintendo Accounts using Google or Apple accounts, nor can they use these accounts to register new ones. There are no other third-party account options available as alternatives.
After the service terminates, users can complete verification by entering the email address or Login ID registered to their Nintendo Account along with their password. Users who have previously set up passkeys can also log in using fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, or other methods on their smartphones.
Users who remain logged in on their devices may not need to re-verify immediately after the service ends. However, once the system displays the login screen again, they must switch to using their email address or Login ID with a password, or use a passkey. Nintendo stated that the actual shutdown time may be later than originally scheduled due to the progress of system changes.
Users should confirm before the service adjustment that the email address linked to their account is still accessible, and securely save their Login ID and password; those wishing to reduce reliance on passwordsPasskeys can also be set up in advance during input. This adjustment only affects account login and registration methods; existing Nintendo Accounts and their purchase histories will not be deleted as a result.
