Dear ThandalNLyman,
Hmmmmmmm. Well then, I wonder why the EA rep said that.
OK, I will give you advise a try.
Now, since I have purchase and downloaded the "electronic" or "soft" version of the game, I need to use the code from the game. I find that code by "Right Clicking" on the game and then clicking "Game Properties". The window that pops up has:
Game Manual [hyperlink]
Epilepsy Warning [hyperlink]
CD Key: [20 Character Alphanumeric key code]
Added to Library - [Date Added]
Its that CD Key, you're referring to, correct? I will give it a go and see what results.
Thanks you for your patience with the "old fart" gamer.

Good Gravy... I can't seem to type a grammatically correct sentence without typographical errors anymore. UGH.
Sorry for sounding like someone who forgot all his high school English class curriculum.

Please try to change your Password to something without any special character (only "ascii" character.) on EA.com. > Test.
Thanks Holger1405 ! Everything else was failing, but modifying the password worked for me !
@francksteel You're welcome! 🙂
I've tried changing my password, disabling 2 Factor Authentication, deleting Origin caches, forwarding ports, disabling the firewall and running the game (as well as Origin) as admin but nothing has helped so far.
Any error message?
OK, first, enable 2 Factor authentication again, it will not make any difference.
You password is not longer than 16 characters?
Your E-Mail is not containing any spacial characters except the @?
