Cannot reset password!!

I'm at the end of my rope. 

I stopped playing 'Sims 4' 3 months ago, and during a chat with my 12 yo today about why, I wanted to show him Sims 3. Unfortunately, it's locked behind my EA app, and to log in to play it, I need to remember my EA password. I haven't used it for probably half a year, since I bypassed logging in constantly by linking my Steam account with it.

I forced my EA app open by running Sims 4 with Steam, but it won't let me open Sims 3 while Sims 4 is running. I shut down Sims 4, only to see the EA app asking me to sign in.

Fine. I'll try and remember my password. 

Nope. Reset password.

And I get this infuriating message:  

Reset password on a recognized device

You have 1 hour to complete the following:

  1. On a recognized device, launch an EA game with online features.
  2. Reset your EA Account password.

Before starting, make sure the game is closed and launch it in online mode.

 So I launch sims 4 again and NOTHING HAPPENS!

I only have the EA app on this device, unless it wants me to open the EA app on my kids computer...which no longer works...

    I was just having the exact same issue.  Contacted the chat on the site, and he sent me a reset password link.   ^_^ Thanks.

    Do you still have the issue? I had the exactly same annoying problem. I then contacted them, and could chat (i think it was a bot) but with a secondary e-mail adress, which i had to verify with the code he send me; he then sended me a link to finally set a new password. it worked. it took some time, and it wasn't fun, but finally i could log in to my account. So thats how I solved the problem... I hope it will work for you aswell :)

  • Dealing with the same problem here sadly, wish we had a solution. Apparently there are many people having problems with ea games right now.

    How are you supposed to launch an EA game with online features WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SIGN IN?????
