Several Blizzard games
Overwatch, Diablo, and WoW share it. One stolen login costs more than one game.
Overwatch 2 / Battle.net
How to make an Overwatch 2 account — Battle.net login and BattleTag
Overwatch 2 uses a Battle.net account on every platform — Steam and consoles included. Your heroes, skins, and rank follow that Blizzard login, so set it up once and keep it safe.
How to make an Overwatch 2 account and save it
Step 1
Create a Battle.net account
Sign up at battle.net with an email you will keep and a unique password. If you play Diablo or WoW, use that account.
Step 2
Choose your BattleTag
Your BattleTag is the public name#number. You sign in with your email, not the BattleTag.
Step 3
Add the Blizzard Authenticator
Turn on the Blizzard Authenticator app in account security and keep the recovery code.
Step 4
Link Steam or your console
Steam and console players are asked to link a Battle.net account. Link the one you want your progress on.
Step 5
Save it in LoginScout
Store the Battle.net email, password, BattleTag, linked platforms, and recovery code on one card.
Why your Battle.net login matters
Email vs BattleTag
People try to sign in with their BattleTag. The card keeps the real login email.
Cross-progression needs links
Progress follows the Battle.net account, so each platform must link to the same one.
Recovery code saves you
Lose the authenticator phone and the recovery code is your fastest way back.
Overwatch boosting and account sales
Blizzard bans boosted, sold, and shared accounts. High-rank listings are often stolen.
LoginScout stores accounts you own. It never sells or levels them.
