I used the Game Center login to generate one of my accounts and now want to complete the Varrock Diary. Unfortunately, to do this, I’m required to do all 4 emotes from Stronghold of Security (which requires that I set up a two-factor authentication before getting the last emote). Despite the Game Center already having a built-in 2F authentication system, and the fact that I can*t set up a new one (since the game center credentials don’t formally link to an email, on top of the fact that its been years since we’ve had the ability to link emails to game center accounts), I’m stuck in the position where I can*t actually progress the Varrock diary.

Is there some sort of work-around or fix for this? If not, it’d be really nice if actual, meaningful game content wasn’t being arbitrarily gated by something I can** functionally fix.

Hey,

Am I right in understanding that you want to keep logging in with the same Game Center account, after having linked an email and enabled authenticator?
If that is the case, that is possible to do. You can find steps on how to link an email below!

This absolutely used to work. Unfortunately, Jagex removed the “Link Email” functionality from the “Account Management” tab UI in 2018, and it has since not been reinstated. As such, any current Game Center account lacks the ability to link the account to another email. Likewise, that account can*t set up 2F authentication. This, again, leaves me with the inability to complete the Stronghold of Security (and therefore the Varrock diary).

Hmm, you could try clicking the 'website' or 'view inbox' button instead. Head into the Linked Accounts or Email & Communication preferences and it should prompt you to add a email and password.

Neither work since the Game Center doesn’t link the account to an actual email. When I click the “view inbox” button on the account tab, I get “You can*t access that link on this platform”.

I’d be happy to migrate my account from the Game Center to an email, but the functionality just isn’t available.
