Some sign in issues with Epic Games launcher is due to issues with the servers. Make sure that you check the server status of Epic Games from their official website.

If there’s any issues in the Epic Games Store section, especially with Login, the best thing that you can do is to simply wait until the issue is fixed.

In my experience, Epic Games login issues due to a server problem does not last long. Epic Games conduct regular maintenance with their servers from time to time to fix known bugs or improve things so just be patient and try to sign back in after a few hours.

Sometimes, Epic Game servers may be taken offline only in a particular region. If you have a VPN, try to see if you can sign in to your account after changing your location.

• Open the Epic Games launcher.
• Click on Sign in with Epic Games.
• Select Forgot your Password.
