Identity Authentication Settings Guide

Steps for managing your identity authentication settings on Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch.

Information

If you wish, you can restrict access to a few select features on your console by requiring entry of a PIN or signing in to your Nintendo Account.

By default this setting is turned off, which means you will not be asked for identity authentication when accessing these features, and any other users on the system will also be able to freely access the features by selecting your user.
