BOTLOBBIESWhere should I enter the Epic authorization code?
Use the Epic verification page opened or linked by the website's account-linking step. The temporary code is for that authorization flow, not for a support conversation, your web password field, or a friend's account.
Follow the matching verification link
Begin in the linking step and use the authorization link associated with the code currently displayed there. The flow may provide a complete verification address so you can reach the correct confirmation page directly. If you instead open an old link from chat or browser history, you can end up approving a different or expired request. Check both the current setup page and the Epic page before proceeding. A web account sign-in form serves a different purpose from Epic authorization.
Check the destination and account before approving
Read the address and the account shown by Epic rather than blindly entering the code into whichever page is open. If you are already signed in to a different Epic account, stop and select the intended account through the normal Epic process. Do not paste the code into a party chat message, a support ticket, or a cosmetic command. Those actions cannot safely substitute for the official verification step and make a temporary authorization request visible to people who do not need it.
Return to the setup for confirmation
After approving, go back to the original website step and wait for it to show the linked identity. The fact that the Epic page completed does not prove that a second browser tab is using the same session. If the website still waits, check whether its code is current and whether the account confirmation matches your intention. Renew an expired request through the supported controls. For help, describe the status and expiry message without copying the actual authorization code or a complete private verification link.
