- Set up a Nintendo password or passkey before then.
- The linked Google account Platinum Points mission is ending.

## Summary

Nintendo will stop allowing Google and Apple sign-ins for Nintendo Accounts from 26 January 2027. Users will need to set up a password or passkey to keep accessing their accounts, games and the eShop.

The change will also end the My Nintendo Platinum Points mission that rewards users for linking a Google account. Nintendo says the precise time the sign-ins end depends on system change work, but has not explained why it is removing them. Users can register a passkey through their account’s Sign-In and Security Settings.
