Locked out of main account by fake 2FA app loop - Help site broken

I am posting from my temp account because my primary account has been compromised and locked me out behind the authenticator app that I never set up (even though it has to email and text me before login so that's great). EA help website is completely broken for me and keeps showing "this issue isn't supported by advisors" or giving me blank screens, so I can't open a live chat ticket. I need EA to contact me directly to manually escalate this case so a security agent can help me verify my ownership and strip the unauthorized 2FA app off my real account. Thank you.

    Could you let me know how you answered the chatbot’s questions? 

    At the moment, the EA Help site appears to be working normally, so I’d like to understand where the process is getting stuck for you.

    I already did all of that, and it didn't work so I'd like to speak to an advisor.

    Hi there, 

    I’m sorry to hear your account was compromised.

    Unfortunately, the forum team don’t have access to account details, so this will need to be handled by our Support team.

    If the EA Help site isn’t working properly for you, please try:

    • Using a different browser
    • Clearing your browser cache and cookies
    • Temporarily disabling any browser extensions, particularly ad blockers or privacy/security extensions
    • Using a private/incognito window

    The chatbot is mainly there to collect your details first so the case can be routed properly. It’s designed to gather the information an Advisor would usually ask for upfront and help reduce unnecessary back-and-forth.

    When answering its questions, please make sure you clearly indicate that this is an account issue. This should help bring up the Chat with us option so you can get in touch with an Advisor. Thanks.
