Nintendo Account: Google / Apple log-in to be discontinued in January 2027

Nintendo has announced that starting January 2027, users will no longer be able to link their Nintendo Account to their Google and/or Apple account.

What this means in practice is that you will no longer be able to log in to your Nintendo Account using your Google and/or Apple Account credentials . Also, you will no longer be able to create a Nintendo Account using your Google / Apple account information.

In light of this change, the following My Nintendo Mission will also be discontinued: “Link your Google account to your Nintendo Account” (for 10 Platinum Points).

Support for Google and Apple accounts will be discontinued on January 25th/26th at around 11PM PT / 2AM ET / 7AM GMT / 8AM CEST / 4PM JST.

After that date/time, you will no longer be able to select the option to log in with your Google / Apple account. If you’re already logged in though, you will be able to keep using your Nintendo account as usual. However, if you ever log out, you will then have to log back in using your Nintendo Account credentials (email address + password OR Passkey).

If you haven’t set a password to your Nintendo Account (or if you have, but can’t remember it), you will have to select “Forgot your password?” to reset it.
