EA App Nickname

I've looked at previous forums regarding this and it's outdated as the edit profile option is not there for me. I can not change it and i do not want strangers knowing sensitive information since EA randomly choose a nickname based on an email i used and not even going on the website does nothing. Please fix this so i can change it and not have to worry about it. Thank you

    Hey shirvnui​

    If you're hoping to change your name here on the forums, you'll need to edit your EA ID through your Account Information page. Once you're there, just click the little pen icon next to your EA ID to edit. 

    Since we're unable to discuss or alter account details here on the forums, please feel free to connect with live support if you're receiving any pushback while making changes. Please note that it might take a second for the change to register and sync across platforms. 

    Let us know how it goes, or if you're referring to your username on another platform. Thanks!

    This is not what shirvnui​ is asking. They are asking for the SECOND name underneath the EA ID. I too would like to change it and have NO option to change it. I don't have sensitive info as the nickname but it's a stupid name that I only used because it asked me for one years ago. We both want the second gray nickname changed, not the main one. In my case, it is AoiOppa.

    blopaisme​ Thanks for clarifying, I see what you mean now. 

    shirvnui​ To change the nickname underneath your EA ID on the EA App, please follow the steps below: 

    1. After launching the EA App, click your profile picture in the top right corner
    2. Click 'My profile' 
    3. On the pop-up window, select the 'Edit Profile' button above the Games and Friends tabs
    4. Change your existing nickname to the one you want, and click 'Done'


    Let us know how it goes, or if you've tried that already and it didn't work.
