Authentication is a little finicky since we have to go through the Epic website. In the first step you will log in and in the second one you are required to copy an exchange code from a JSON site into the command line.

**Tip:** most games will run fine offline (`--offline`), and thus won't require launching through legendary for online authentication. You can run `legendary launch <App Name> --offline --dry-run` to get a command line that will launch the game with all parameters that would be used by the Epic Launcher. These can then be entered into any other game launcher (e.g. Lutris/Steam) if the game requires them.
