I had never created an Epic account, but always logged in via Ps4 (you don't need to create a new account for this). Now I have installed the game again after months and can't get into my account. It says "Sign in with your Epic account" but I don't have an Epic account. I always signed up directly via Ps4. What do I have to do to get my account back? If I skip the registration process, it will register me with a completely new account.
You have an epic games account, that's 100% secure. Just try to use the email from your ps4+ password
No I don't have an epic games account. So none with an email password etc. My account is directly connected to my Ps4, so I have no login details except my Ps4 data. And if I start at Ps4 fortnite, it says there I need my epic games account to register. There's no option with "register playstation account" or something.
On the homepage e.g. Can you do that?
Do a 2fa first
What's this?
Well, two levels of verification do you mean, what for?
Do that, I think it has to do with it.
In any case, if you go to your account settings or something on the homepage, you will actually see whether your account is linked to psn.
If so, you can actually log in to Fortnite with any device via psn.
