Origin login is currently unavailable.

thank u this worked omg thank u i am soooooo happy i found ur comment:womanvery-happy:

Although wrong PC Time and Date can be an easy culprits,

there are a few problems people might also have (which I had them all... lucky me :manfrustrated: )

FIREWALL/ANTIVIRUS/ANTISPYWARE

programs might be blocking your Origin log on

Solution:

1. Go to your windows firewall (Click Start and type "Firewall" in the search field, then select "Windows-Firewall" from the results)

2. Click either "Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall" or "Change settings" (seems to work the same to me)

*( If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation in the pop-up window.)

3. Select "Exceptions" Tab, (scroll down if necessary)

Make sure that the following checkboxes are marked:

☑   Log on services 
☑   Battlefield 3  * * * ( mark all other Origin games you have installed )
☑   Battlefield 4 
☑   Battlefield 4 (x64) 

☑   Origin 

☑   Electronic Arts * * *(might not be on your PC as only older games have it)

☑   EA  * * *(might not be on your PC as only older games have this)

☑   (HTTPS)  * * * {not HTTP!!!}

☑   ... * * *(make sure all the AMD/NVIDIA/or any other graphic card connections are marked too)

3*   In case you cannot see "Origin" in the list

click "Add Program" below and select the folder where the Origin is installed

(it is found  in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Filesx64 by default )

Just add it to the list and click the checkbox ☑

4. Click OK and relog or restart your PC.

P.S. If this didn't help, try adding exceptions to your Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware too

(I cannot possibly give you instruction on your specific type of software, this you have to find for yourself, there's just too many of them to cover)

IF FIREWALL FIX DOESN'T HELP,

then it is probably a BAD WINDOWS REGISTRY (dun-dun-DUUUN! :catmad🙂

Solution:

1. Manually uninstall Origin

All the instructions here: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-origin

2. Then make a backup copy of the file  "hosts" located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

(save the backup copy anywhere you want, it is nly to restore in case of errors)

(however if you copy to the same folder, it has to have a different name:"hosts_backup" for example)

Open the original "hosts" located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc with Notepad (right click "open with...")

and delete everyhing except what has # symbol in front and these 2 lines:

127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
::1 localhost

3. Save the changes

4. Download the latest Origin version 

BUT DO NOT INSTALL IT: THIS IS IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO AVOID OTHER KNOWN PROBLEMS!!!

5. Disconnect from the internet, TURN OFF Firewall and any Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware you have.

6. Install Origin

(DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER FILES BECAUSE YOUR PROTECTION IS OFF, ONLY STRICTLY INSTALL ORIGIN)

(* ... I WARNED YOU)

7. TURN ON your Anti-Spyware/Anti-Virus and Firewall ! ! !

8. Restart your PC

9. Update Origin 

10. Enjoy!  😕mileytongue:

1.  Check your system time, set it to a correct time and date for your location

2. Add Origin to the list of exceptions in your Firewall / Antvirus / Antispyware

- Win-Firewall 

Press "Start" type "Firewall" select "Windows-Firewall"

Then click "Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall*" > "Add Program" > find Origin in the list > Add > Ok 

                *(type password/confirm if prompted)

- Kasperski

Options ☀ > Program Control > Programs > Electronic Arts > Origin > Exceptions Tab > Do Not inspect Network Flow > Ok > Ok > Accept

3. If you don't know what cmd.exe and Netsh Advfirewall Firewall mean, just skip this and proceed to №4

   See if your Origin port (80,443) or IP adresses have a Blocking Rule in cmd.exe

   Simply delete this blocking rule.

4. Manually uninstall Origin

All the instructions here: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-origin

 > Then make a backup copy of the file  "hosts" located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

(save the backup copy anywhere you want, it is only to restore in case of errors)

AMAZIN! Thank you dirtbikebrewin!

hi mate i love u so much thanks for this it fixed everything😕mileylol:

It's probably your antivirus program. Origin seems to have a problem with almost all of them

What data and time do I change it to?, i have it set to my time zone right now?

Manually uninstalling my origin then doing the internet explorer idea worked, everything i did was on this so it shouldnt be too hard to find good luck!!

Thanks for this, I checked my PC time and corrected it and it is working fine now!
