I've just made the switch to the EA app in the last few days and I have this issue as well. I agree that it's just a minor irritant (the app has been working fine for me), but it would be nice if it could be fixed please!
Community ManagerHi everyone,
Just for the record: When the “Enable background services” setting is toggled off in your EA app for Mac settings, it is working as intended that on every boot of the client, the macOS prompt to input your macOS username and password pops up.
I hope this clarifies a few things.
Go into Macintosh HD > Users. There should be a root folder in there:
Trash the Library folder.I've tested this and I now don't get prompted for my Mac password every time I open EA App. My game launches normally too 🙂 the folder recreates when you restart your Mac though.
I have this problem as well.
I've got "Enable Background Services" turned on, and the EA app still requires my password. The Origin app did the same thing, and no one seems to know exactly how to make it stop.
Its super annoying. I have other users who cant use it because I am admin and I need to always log in with my mac details. What sort of program is this? Its annoying to keep signing in. I paid for sims not for ea
Why does this keep popping up?
I was looking for this solution and figured it out.
Hope this helps!
You are my hero!!!! I’ve been having this issue for ages, and no one has been able to give a solution that worked. This did the trick! Thank you so, so much, kind internet stranger!!!!
CallMeKalamine was already switched on when this started happening about a month ago, I tried toggling it off then back on, no good 😔
Bluebellflora”a minor irritant”? It’s SO ANNOYING! This isn’t something we should just brush off as “it is what it is” 🤦♂️ it’s a problem that needs to be acknowledged and fixed
