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.

        Yep. This is surprise for me also. Who can be interested in account that have only f2p game? And even if you get access to it you cant sell any items from it.And real owner can restore access very easy. That is why i wasn't very bothered about protection. My acc was used for playing with cheats and for boosting someone else's account (in one night my rank jumped from plat4 to diamond3). But again i dont understand: isn't it easier to create new account from scratch for this purpose? Or it is because of restriction in ranked in plat+ when you can take in team only people with similar rank?
