Introduction
Congratulations on your new Valorant account! But before you jump into ranked matches or flex your skins — it’s crucial to secure your account. Whether you bought a Full Access account or a Non Full Access one, these steps will help you stay protected and avoid unnecessary issues.
✅ 1. First — Check Account Credentials
After purchase, log in immediately and verify that all the provided login credentials work as expected.
If something doesn’t match — contact support right away. Don’t delay this step.
🔐 2. Change Password (Full Access only)
If your account is Full Access (FA), you should change the password as soon as possible:
- Go to Riot Account Settings
- Login with the provided details
- Change password to something strong and unique
- Avoid reusing old passwords or anything tied to your gaming alias
📧 3. Secure the Email (FA only)
Since you now own the email attached to the Riot account:
- Change the email password too
- Add 2FA to the email (Google Authenticator, SMS, etc.)
- Remove recovery options you don’t control
- Add your own backup email
If it’s a temporary inbox (like mail.ru or temp Gmail), we highly recommend binding a new trusted email.
🧱 4. Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)
Valorant doesn’t support full 2FA natively for login, but your email does — and that’s your weak spot.
- Use Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or SMS login for your email
- Avoid using the same password for multiple services
Bonus tip: Add 2FA to your gaming device (PC or console), especially if others have access.
🌍 5. Avoid Suspicious Activity
Riot tracks behavior like a hawk. Don’t do this:
- Don’t log in from multiple IPs or locations rapidly
- Don’t change account region via VPN
- Don’t spam messages or friend invites
- Don’t flame in chat — behavioral flags may lead to suspension
🛠️ 6. Customize Your Riot ID & Settings
Make the account your own:
- Go to Riot Account Page > Update Riot ID & Tagline
- Set your preferred language, region, and sensitivity settings
- Link Twitch or Prime if needed
Don’t forget: some usernames are locked if used in previous bans or regions.
📞 7. If Something Goes Wrong
If you run into issues like:
- Account doesn’t match description
- Wrong region
- Can’t log in after password reset
→ Contact support through your order page or live chat. Don’t wait longer than the warranty allows (7 days for FA, 24-72h for NFA).
🧠 Final Thoughts
A secured account = peace of mind. It only takes 5–10 minutes to lock down your new Valorant profile, and it could save you hours of stress later. Protect it like your own — because now, it is.
