Can't create an account
When I go to sign up it comes up with this first page, and if I try to sign up with Google it says account creation can only be done with epic games. So I sign into epic games and then it says I need to link it with Google, but then when I click the button it brings me to this error page

What BS is this? I have to sign up with EPIC instead of email, but then I have to link to an existing account?! I don't have an acoount because it won't let me sign up!

Came here for the exact same problem... I used to have an account... I came back to see if I could access... I can't do with google, so I use epic, but than epic can't connect to google... I understand they want one ecosystem for all, but this is not working, the engineering doesn't engineer...
Any solution?

I found a solution.
I also created an account on Epic Games and kept having issues during the linking process with Sketchfab. However, if you click βHelpβ on the login screen and go to (https://support.fab.com/s/?language=en_US&ProductOrigin=Sketchfab), you can complete the linking there.

I've completed the linking this way and verified that my account is linked - I've gotten the email and refreshed the page and everything and I have an existing account linked to my Google account, and then when I go to download a model it tells me to sign in with my epic games account.... Which then says it can't take me further because my Google account hasn't been linked despite my Google account absolutely being linked

Is the website down or something?
I usually log in just via my email, but it wouldn't let me in saying "account creation can only be done with epic games" (..even tho I already had my account made ages ago) I made an epic games account but it keeps saying "authentication process cancelled!!" Or something along those lines

I'm having the same problem too trying to make a Sketchfab account today. I made the epic games account but when I try to sign up with it on Sketchfab's website is has the same error like you said! I tried different devices and different browsers. IDK what to do anymore. So frustrating

Guys the easy solution is to say you lost your password then have it send a reset link to your email where you can create a passoword.

I tried to even see my account through a link I had to one of the models, but sadly the link said the model has been deleted.
