Don't Log Out When Signing in on Multiple Computers

I'm happy and grateful that the EA App now has an offline mode, however there is no option to stay in offline mode across machine reboots.

I mention this because when signing into the EA App on multiple computers, the least-recent of the machines will be logged out, and not just put offline!

I understand that EA doesn't want users online on multiple machines, but at least don't sign them out, just put the other machines in offline mode!

In today's times where we need to use password managers and two-factor authentication to keep our accounts secure, it is extremely inconvenient to sign in, every single time a second machine logs into my account or reboots.

Please EA, just put subsequent logins into offline mode, just like how Origin does this!

    @nmck16If/When this is implemented, for anyone reading who has this problem, I've managed to get around this via Playnite.

    In Playnite, you can set an option to "Auto-Close Clients" (i.e. Steam, EA, EGL, etc.) after you exit a game from that library. Enable that option for the client (in this case, the EA App) to be automatically closed after you've exited your game. This will prevent being logged out if you, for example, play a game from the EA App on one computer, and then on the other computer, you launch a game from the EA App again.

    Also, disable the startup option for the EA App, this will solve being logged out on other computers booting up.

    I really hope EA implements a proper "revert-out-to-offline-mode" for subsequent logins, as these types of workarounds should not be necessary.

    Yes, if I boot my laptop the EA app autolaunches and logs me out on my desktop. SUPER ANNOYING.

    Look, guys, I totes get the whole fear of yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! I work in software, too! but I'm not a pirate, I just switched my laptop on! I was going to write on it! Good grief.
