Apex Legends as a widely popular and free-to-play game<\/a> has had its own issues, with cheating become a persistent problem within all of the game’s modes.<\/p>\n

That could all be set to change though after professional players from Complexity discussed Respawn’s plans to introduce two-factor authentication (2FA) to the game.<\/p>\n

During their 17th May stream<\/a>, the players mentioned that during a playtest event the developers had mentioned the security feature was on the way.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, they said they were going to come out with two-factor authentication,” one can be heard saying.<\/p>\n

Explaining how the system works, another player laid it out:<\/p>\n

“You’ll need to have a phone number connected to your account, once your account is banned you’re not going to have an account to play ranked,” the player said.<\/p>\n

“Unless you go buy a phone, or sim swap..”<\/p>\n

“None of these f**king loser’s are gonna do that,” chimes in the first player.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to help a lot, it’s gonna help a lot with the casual cheaters, not the hardcore turds.”<\/p>\n
