How to secure your Valorant or LoL account after purchase

Valorant and League of Legends (LoL) use the same Riot account. After you receive the account, complete these five steps so that only you can log in.

1. Log in and check the account

  1. Open the Riot sign-in page and enter the username and password the seller gave you.
  2. If the account has two-factor authentication (2FA), Riot asks for a code. Enter the code sent to the linked email or device.
  3. Check that the account matches the listing.

2. Log in to the linked email

  1. Log in to the account's email with the address and password the seller gave you, for example on Gmail or Outlook.
  2. Check that you can receive verification codes.

Important: If you can't open the email, contact the seller right away.

3. Add or change the verified email

You can change the account's email, but not its country/region or date of birth.

  • If the email is unverified: Select Verify Email, enter your new email address, select Save and Verify, then confirm from your new inbox.
  • To change a verified email: Go to Personal Information, select Email Address, enter your new email address, select Save and Verify, then confirm from your new inbox.
