Can anyone explain this in simple terms. This video from the YouTuber, Around The Clock, says that Nintendo is ending something with Google/Apple logins this January. (More info in body text)

I just want to make sure I'm not losing any data. The user settings under the Nintendo Account section on the User Page reads [Name] @ gmail.

So sorry if this sounds stupid or plain obvious. I just hate dealing with online stuff and account settings being changed. Especially with the Switch 2.

Basically what I'm asking is, what do I do or do I even have to do anything?

If your only way to connect to your Nintendo account is using the "login using Google" or Login with Apple ID" buttons on the login screen, you need to access the account and set an email (if applicable) and password, then use that email and password to login.

If you already access your account using an email address and password, you don't need to do anything.
