Direct answer

AS-1041 is an Epic account-services sign-in error. Use the official status page to rule out an outage, then refresh the launcher session and retry.

Before you start

Check Epic Account Services status before signing out. If services are operational, refresh the session once rather than repeatedly resetting passwords.

Platform note

Use automatic date and time on PC or console. A device with an incorrect clock can invalidate a normal sign-in session.

Fix it step by step

Follow these steps in order. Stop when the code clears; deleting files or resetting accounts should never be the first response.

  1. 1

    Restart Fortnite and the launcher.

  2. 2

    Sign out and back in.

  3. 3

    Confirm system date and time are automatic.

  4. 4

    Retry after official account services return to normal.

If the code still appears

  1. Take a screenshot that includes the full code and the moment it appears.
  2. Note your platform, Fortnite version, connection type and the steps already completed.
  3. Check the live Fortnite status one more time.
  4. Use Epic Player Support with those details if the problem remains while services are operational.
