Signing Up for a Profile
To help you level up in the game, an Activision account grants you access to the newest information and grants you access to special incentives. You may sign up for an Activision account without spending a dime.
When you link several accounts to your Activision account, you may make progress in all of them simultaneously. You may play crossplay-enabled games on whatever platform you have linked to your Activision account, and your progress will be saved and accessible across all of them.
To sign up, just use your credentials from a supported gaming platform like PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Blizzard. For security reasons, while creating a gaming account, you will be sent to the gaming network’s official website for confirmation of your login details.
Choose Mobile if you don’t have a gaming account(Xbox to ps5).
Account linking
One Activision account may be linked to many platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Blizzard, and Nintendo.
These are the actions you need to do to connect your platform account:
- Enter your Activision credentials and log in.
- To view linked accounts, hover over your account name at the top of the page.
- Select the option to Link Account next to the profile you want to associate.
- Please be aware that only one Activision account per manufacturer may be linked.
- To continue, please provide the Verification Code that was issued to your Activision account email.
- Then, next to the account you want to connect, select Link Account once more.
- To finish integrating your accounts, you’ll be redirected back to PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Blizzard, or Nintendo’s respective website.
Games that support cross-progression will have your progress saved to your Activision account rather than the platform account you use to play. Your progress will be lost if you decide to link your platform account to another Activision account.
No data or work is lost. If you link back your platform account to your original Activision account, you’ll be able to access all of your previous progress and download stuff without any interruption.
Two-Factor Authentication
Use two-factor authentication to better safeguard your account. By enabling two-factor authentication, you’ll be compelled to use a separate authentication app (in this case, Google Authenticator) every time you sign in.
You will be prompted to set up two-factor authentication when registering a new account, or when logging into an existing account for the first time if you haven’t already done so. Even if you missed the first setup prompts, you may still activate two-factor authentication by visiting the PRIVACY & SECURITY settings page.
How to implement two-factor authentication by following these instructions.
- Get the Google Authenticator app from the app store and install it on your mobile device.
- Navigate to your Activision account’s PRIVACY & SETTINGS tab.
- Choose to TURN ON TWO-STEP VERIFICATION.
- Launch the Authenticator app by selecting the addition (+) button.
- If you have a smartphone or tablet, you may use the Scan barcode option to quickly input the Manual Entry Key, or you can choose Manual entry to manually enter the key.
- After opening the authenticator app, select ADD ACCOUNT.
- After typing in your Activision account password, you’ll need to input the 6-digit number displayed on your authenticator app (listed under Activision).
- Select “Activate” to finish the installation.
After you’ve set up Google Authenticator, the app will generate 10 backup codes in case you ever lose or don’t have access to the main set. These passwords should be kept in a secure location that is nonetheless easily accessible. Backup codes can only be used once per account for safety purposes.
If you have activated two-factor authentication, after entering your email and password you will be asked to provide an authentication code issued by the authentication app. A fresh authentication code is produced by the authenticator app every 30 seconds.
