Passkeys or "WebAuthn" Support

I expect a few people might not be too interested in this right now and have other priorities, but as someone whose day job involves platform security, this would be a "very nice to have" for me. I've always been happy that EA have supported MFA authentication with an authenticator app, but I would love it if they could take this one step further and implement Passkey support (or "WebAuthn") as a way to replace passwords and SMS authentication.

For some people, their account is a significant time and financial investment, containing their library of games, coveted game items, wallet balance and potentially payment methods. Being able to keep these secure by staying on top of modern and current security practices surely can't be a bad thing.

Cheers.

    Hey @MarauderMaisy,

    Oh, now you mention it... That sounds pretty nice indeed! Just started using it myself with iOS 17 and the new iPhone. It works great on sites that have implemented it already!

    Will make sure to pass it on to the teams! o7
  • I’m with ya. I’m in that industry as well and would love to see EA remove the passwords all together (or have it an option).

    I'm personally also becoming more and more of a fan of Passkeys, especially with the built-in Passkey support for apps like 1Password.

    Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to share at the moment regarding Passkey support for EA accounts/the EA app, but the feedback has been passed on. 🙂
