Reset password on a recognized device Issue

Hello! I have seen a few people post about this, but I haven't found a solution.

My email information and password were found in a data breach (yay) so I wanted to change my password for my EA account. I tried logging in, my password wasn't working, I selected the "forgot password"/"reset password" option, it sent me to the "Reset password on a recognized device" page.

I tried to open sims 4 to do the "go online and prompt will appear in-game to reset your password or verify your identity" method - Sims 4 wont open without the EA app.
I tried launching sims through steam, same thing, it tries to open the EA app. 

I don't play any other EA games.

Interestingly, my other account (which I am currently using to post this) was fine with letting me reset my password through an email link. 

I am so annoyed, and so frustrated. I am really hopeful for a solution, because I will be furious if I lose my nearly 700 hours of sims 4 work.

    Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about that. 

    Is the device you're currently using to reset the password different from the one you used to play before? If it's the same and you're still getting this error, please contact EA Help support:
