Direct answer

LS-0022 is a launcher sign-in validation error. Refresh the Epic session, make sure system time is automatic, and wait if Account Services are reporting an incident.

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 the launcher.

  2. 2

    Set Windows date and time to automatic.

  3. 3

    Sign out and back in once.

  4. 4

    Check Epic Account Services status before retrying.

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.
