My brother is having the same issue, accidentally used the wrong email address, and now his steam account is permanently attached to this origin account?
Went through support 3 times, and spoke with a representative about deleting the origin account but it still hasn't solved his issue. The fact that it took a single login with no confirmation is just plain out stupid, not to mention I've been reading other users have had their steam Email automatically used when their origin account is a separate email address. That these can be paired but not unpaired is absolutely unbelievable. If someone had access to my account (which has happened before, thankfully I have 2FA now) they could just arbitrarily gain access to my Apex Legends account and literally just permanently have it? I'm hoping EA can do something about this ASAP, but for the time being it has killed his will to play and I no longer have my gaming buddy. We were very excited to play and now we're waiting around for something that should be any easy fix.
@DabOnthemH8erz I've scoured the forums looking for people with the same issue, and it seems there are quite the handful. One person was told that EA support is not allowed to unlink accounts by the Apex Game Team. I'm baffled that they weren't prepared for an issue as simple as this. It's well known that many people have "smurf" accounts, and it's very possible for someone to use the wrong login (as I did). My favorite part is that on the EA support website they have a notice about this issue, when they can't even do anything about it.
