How to find your Fortnite/Epic Games email if you're logged in
This is the easier path to finding your Epic Games or Fortnite email address. Hopefully, you've already signed in, and just want to double-check which email you used to set up the account originally.
Here is how to find your Fortnite/Epic Games email if logged in:
- Head to the top right of the screen and select the Settings icon.

By making use of this Epic Games account recovery option, you will be able to easily find your Fortnite email address. This is useful for players who need to verify their account or reset their password, but cannot recall the email address used during the initial setup.
How to find your Fortnite/Epic Games email if you're not logged in
This is the trickier of the methods. If you don't know your email address, then you can't log in to your account to find your email address… obviously. Luckily, there are a couple of things you can still try.
- First, head to the Epic Games website and try to log in using your Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo login details.
- Check all your email accounts for messages with "Epic" or "Fortnite" to identify the one linked to the account.
If you can't find any emails, you might be playing Fortnite without a registered Epic Games account. In that scenario, follow the guidance from a Reddit user who experienced the same issue.
How to change your Fortnite account email address
If, after checking which email is linked to your Fortnite account, you decide you want to change it, you can do so. Start by logging in to your Epic account. You should be able to see the General Settings page.
From here, scroll down to where it says Account Info. Here, you'll see a blue button labelled Edit next to your current email address. Enter your new email address. This will trigger a security code being sent to the existing email address.
Enter this code into the security code window, and click Continue. Finally, your new email address will receive a verification link in an email. Click on this to verify your email, and this will change the address linked to your Fortnite account.
It's important to note that you cannot use an email address that's already linked to another Epic Games account. This will cause an error message to appear. If you get desperate, you can contact Epic Games for further support. But in most cases, the tips we've outlined in this article will be more than enough to get you back into your account.
