Common problemFortnite
Can't log in to Fortnite
Sign-in errors, VPNs or too many attempts
Your Epic Games account will not sign in and shows an error. Epic links the common messages to VPNs or proxies, wrong details, too many attempts or too many active sessions.
How to fix it
Disconnect from any VPN, hosting or proxy service.
Sign in with your Epic Games email and password, or reset the password with Forgot Password.
If you get Invalid Credentials, turn off browser autofill and set your keyboard to its default language.
If you see Rate Limit Exceeded, wait a few minutes, or 24 hours if it keeps showing.
If it says your account has too many active logins, sign out on another device first.
