Unable to login to my spore account

After 5 long years I have returned to Spore to reap enjoyment, but alas I am having trouble with logging in to my spore account. This is my only EA account, and I know for a fact that it is the correct one, as when I first logged back in to it the only Spore thing I had was GA, just like the good old days. I know what email I used for my spore account, as on the PC I used to play Spore on would automatically try logging in and would therefore display the email that was used. I had also created a file with a list of passwords and tried all 3 both with and without the first letters capitalized. On my PC it would say invalid login for some reason, despite the password having been saved on there. When I open Spore it says Network play disabled. On my laptop it would also say invalid login, except for one specific password where it would say this instead, hinting at it being the correct one.

For some reason I also cannot login to the Sporepedia, even though I have logged in, as can be seen by the Sporepedia offering me to logout in the top right corner. Furthermore, I know my Spore account still exists, as it is right here.

I have tried deleting login.prop or whatever it's called and that has not helped, I have even changed my EA email back to the email I used when I played Spore back then and that hasn't fixed anything. Even if it's a firewall issue, why can I not login to my account on the Sporepedia website? Please let me back in, I need to create more man made horrors.

    Alright, I've tried contacting EA live, and while they weren't very helpful, except the first person who said he heard that making your password 12 characters fixes it, which I can't do because Spore's reset password appears to be broken, I have narrowed down the issue. For some reason Spore is checking my EA credentials, and I know this because when I launch from Steam, while delinked from EA, and I put the password in that is associated with my EA account rather than my Spore account, it will say the special message where it tells me no. So, I need to get spore to recognize that I'm not trying to login through my EA account somehow, perhaps I should change my EA account email back to the one that isn't the same as the one I used for Spore? The live chat people seem to have no access to spore servers, but can you please talk more about authentication?
