Full Email Access

Full email access means you receive the login for the email address registered to a game account, not just the in-game username and password. With it you can change the email, reset the password, and enable your own two-factor authentication.

This is what separates truly owning an account from merely renting one. Without email access the original seller can often recover the account later, so any listing that won’t hand over the email should be treated as a non-starter.

After any purchase, change the email and password immediately and turn on 2FA to lock the seller out for good.
