@systemchanged Sorry but this is no fault of the company. It is on the user to apply more security for the accounts. They give you what they are required to do which is a normal password. All together 4 security measures. Password/Alternate email/2 step/Backup codes/ Trusted devices. This is not upon the company to log into your account and do this for you.

so its not the company who needs to take care of gaming accounts as they provide what is required by them it is on you to care about the security of your account.

not realy: in other systems (steam for example) when you do log-in from very different part of world it sends email to confirm that it is realy you

even if you dont have any 2 step authetication

and yes - this is general approach that everybody expected

also this 2 step is not very easy to find: i created my account from origins and i dont remeber anything about 2 step during this registration procedure (and i also dont remember how many years ago it was)

and ofcorse i wasnt expected that somebody will try to hack my account that has only f2p game that everybody has access to

    @siriusdour No one can access your account or code. I get texts saying unknown devices or codes sent. No one can get your info without having access to your email or more. It also is on you to remember your security codes and all other things.

      what do you mean?

      i have sms sonfirmation for each login for my email. nobody get access to my email except me

      but in same time somebody got access to my origin account without getting access to my email

      because i have 2 step authetification on my email account

      and dont have on my origin account (and i had not very strong password)

        @siriusdour Well the only way to obtain said info is from accounts linked. People cant randomly just guess a login email and password. That would take months upon months of password sniffers and more. I doubt there is much value to your apex account to make months of work to just play on a randoms account.
