    If you linked your steam account before, you log in to your EA on the browser by steam account and it requires you to change the password, you will type your EA ID linked to steam and reset the password. Hope it will fix it for you

Hello!!
I've bought Fifa 23 on Steam since it came out and I still haven't been able to play it due to this problem you've mentioned, I have a computer that more than meets the minimum requirements, I uninstalled and also reinstalled everything and nothing... I say I have Windows 11 and I have also changed the compatibility with EA applications and nothing... anyway when I open the EA Play application individually it opens wonderfully but when starting FIFA 23 with Steam the error mentioned above by the friend here appears! I can't claim my money on Steam because the time limit has passed but EA doesn't fix this either!!!
HELP ME PLEASE!!

    THIS IS THE ANSWER! THANK YOU!!!!

    Now, why on earth they don't just say this is what needs to be done on the error screen is beyond me. I literally was playing something early this morning, then 7 hours later I couldn't launch from Steam. Empty cache, tried closing the ea background app, restart pc. Nope, needed to update pasword for some reason. 

    Anyway, thank you so much!
