Epic Games also feature the 2FA method to secure every game present on the platform. 

By opting in for 2FA, in Fortnite only, players get a ton of free rewards, including the Boogiedown Emote in Fortnite Battle Royale and things like 50 Armory Slots, 10 Backpack Slots, and 1 Legendary Troll Stash Llama in the Save the World game mode.
