<p>We already know that Nintendo has <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/tags/stability">some of the most stable hardware out there</a>, but thanks to the introduction of Two-Step Verification today, now your Nintendo Account can be super-secure, too.</p>
<p>When you opt-in you will be using <a class="external" href="https://www.google.com/landing/2step/">Google’s 2-Step Verification system</a>, which of course makes everything as painless as possible. You’ll simply need to use an app on your phone to scan a QR code. Job done!</p>
<p>Head over to <a class="external" href="https://accounts.nintendo.com/security">https://accounts.nintendo.com/security</a> to enable the extra layer of security on your Nintendo Account. You can also change your username / sign-in ID too, which is more than you can do on the PlayStation Network.</p>
<p>Let us know if you feel more secure with these two-steps with a comment below.</p>
