Reminder that currently there is no official feature to check account statistics. Logging in to 3rd party tools to do so is not recommended. If you've accessed any of these tools, we suggest you change your account password and ensure 2FA is enabled.

Anyone who uses third-party providers should change their password
What service is this about? The website fortnite.gg is meant here. This website shows you various information about Fortnite. Here you can see, among other things, which device the Fortnite pros play with and how the map has changed over the years.
Recently, however, there is also the possibility to show your locker and have it rated. To do this, you have to link your Epic account to the website so that it has access to your skins. You will then be shown how much V-Bucks you have invested in the game in total.
Where is the problem? Epic warns on Twitter that there is currently no official tool to display these statistics. So you are accessing third-party software here. That's exactly what Epic doesn't recommend. They even advise that you should change your password and activate 2-factor authentication .
In general, you allow such third-party providers access to your account. This makes it much easier to hack and in the worst case you could lose everything you have achieved in your Fortnite account.
How is the community reacting? The streamer SypherPK also shared Epic's response shortly after its first post and warned its community. You should all change the password when they have rated their locker.
Other members of the Fortnite community are demanding that Epic introduce a similar system. Then you would not have to resort to third-party providers. Still others claim that they have been using the website for years and have never been hacked.
So it is with Skins in Fortnite: Basically, the Fortnite Battle Royale is free. However, you can buy cosmetic items such as skins for V-Bucks, the in-game currency. Often it is not the value of the skin that is special, but rather the rarity. Some skins only appeared in the shop for a short time and are therefore particularly rare.
