Re: EA app Fails to Remember "Keep me signed in" Option

Good afternoon everyone

I've solved the issue by deleting the content for "C:\Users\joaon\AppData\Local\Electronic Arts\" 

You can acess the Appdata by using "Winkey + R", then typing %Appdata% on the address you will go to "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming" in windows 11 just click on the "AppData" in the address bar and go to "local"

Hope it works for you guys too!
Cheers from Portugal!

    Same issue as https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/EA-Desktop-keeps-logging-out-after-every-session/td-p/10225436

    Please don't ask me "Have you repaired, uninstalled and reinstalled The EA app?" I tried all methods and doesn't work!

    Even a different PC doesn't work!

    Not only me having this issue, other users as well (usually The Sims 4 Players)

  • Also having this issue,   not only does it log me out daily even though I checked the box to "remember me" it still prompts me to login daily.   This has been an issue on and off for years  At what point does the devs realize this is an issue and comes up with a permanent fix for it?   There should be regression bug testing on this issue so it never goes back into a production release ever again.

    SardaukarPT's solution didn't work for me. Was asked to log in the very next day (after a restart). My own experience is that a restart doesn't necessarily initiate a need to log in again, but it's certainly a requirement, and happens almost every time.

    And EA, this really is extremely poor. I say that as a former programmer - there's no excuse for this still going on. I for one would like to know what you're doing to investigate and solve it, instead of vouching for these hit-or-miss 'solutions'.

  • Exactly, every time I try to play The Sims, it asks me for login information that I type in correctly because I copy everything, and then it says that the password is incorrect, and it goes in circles... First, it logs me out, then it tells me the password is wrong... I lose all my motivation for everything until I manage to log in.
