Riot game account is protected by a shield, multi-factor verification and a strong password

Security

One Riot Account can store access to multiple games, purchases, and progress. Therefore, protection begins not in the game client, but with email, a unique password and checking the login page address.

Main protection

unique password, verified email and MFA

Question

How to protect your Riot Account from hacking and safely log into VALORANT or League of Legends?

Short answer

Confirm your Riot Account email, enable multi-factor authentication, use a unique password and enter it only on the official Riot page. Save backup access to mail and purchase receipts - they may be needed during recovery.

Key points

Riot Account mail should belong only to you and be protected separately.

MFA reduces the risk of logging in with a stolen password.

The official Riot login page uses the domain authenticate.riotgames.com.

Receipts and early purchases help verify account ownership.

2. Check the login page

3. Save data for recovery

01

Strengthen your account foundation

Create a long, unique password that is not used in other services. Then confirm the email and protect the mailbox itself with a separate password and two-factor verification.

In your Riot Account settings, enable the available MFA method and make sure notifications are sent to your device or email.

02

Check the login page

Phishing sites copy Riot's form and promise free currency, skins, or tournament entry. Please check the address before entering your details: Riot lists authenticate.riotgames.com as the official authorization domain.

Do not enter your password after clicking on a link from a personal message. It’s safer to open the official website or game client yourself.

  • Verify the domain before entering the password.

  • Do not approve an unexpected MFA request.

  • Do not transfer your account for a “cheap top-up”.

03

Save data for recovery

Keep Riot Points and prepaid card receipts until successful deposit. To use the code, a photo of the card or a digital copy, a receipt and purchase information will be useful, but the code itself cannot be published.

If you notice an unknown login, first change your email password, then Riot Account, end other people's sessions and contact official support.

Riot Support should not ask for a password. Don't even send it to someone who claims to be a support person.

Checklist

Email verified and protected by 2FA.

The Riot password is unique.

MFA is enabled in account settings.

The login page domain is checked every time.

Purchase receipts are saved without publishing the full code.

Next step

Secure your Riot Account before redeeming the code

Enable MFA and check your account region, then select a compatible prepaid code.

Frequently asked questions

Where is it safe to enter Riot data?

Use the official client or login page on the authenticate.riotgames.com domain.

Should email be protected separately?

Yes. Access to mail often allows you to reset your game account password, so it needs a separate password and 2FA.

Why store a prepaid card receipt?

It helps support verify the purchase if the code has not been activated or the balance has not been credited.
