Getting your game account hacked always sucks, but in a game like Genshin Impact, getting hacked means losing characters and items you spent not only time, but potentially also your hard-earned money on. Soon after the game took off, players started asking for two-factor authentication (2FA) to be added, a standard measure to protect accounts by sending a verification code to your email address upon login.

Simply log in via the official Genshin Impact website and access the account management menu. Here, you can link an email address and mobile phone number to your account. Genshin Impact will only send you an email asking for verification if you access the game from a new device, so don't be surprised if you don't get an email upon your next login.

2FA arrives just in time for the Eula banner, so if you want to pull for her, you can now do so knowing your account will stay safe and sound.
