Locked out — security key + password issue, no self-service option working
Hi, hoping a moderator can help or point me in the right direction.
I lost my old iPhone, which had my SWTOR Security Key authenticator app on it. I also couldn't remember my password, so I've been trying every self-service option I can find, but I'm stuck in a loop:
- Password reset on account.swtor.com: goes through the "forgot password" flow, but the final step to set a new password asks for the Security Key code before it'll complete — which I don't have.
- "Lost your Security Key?" link: this option does not appear for my account when I try to log in with the key field left blank. I just get a login failure instead.
- EA account password: I was able to log into my linked EA account and change the password there, but this did not sync to my SWTOR login — I still get "Login failed" using my SWTOR display name with the new EA password.
My account was created in 2015. I still have full access to the email address on file.
Since none of the self-service paths are working, is there anything that can be done to remove the Security Key and/or reset the SWTOR-side password directly? Happy to verify ownership however's needed — just want to avoid a phone call if at all possible.
Thanks for any help.
Hey 675844e7b19c3fdc,
If you lost access to the SWTOR authenticator app and forgot the account password, please check in with the support team so an advisor can continue helping you.
The EA staff on EA Forums doesn't have visibility into your account. It is not possible to avoid a phone call in these cases.
Please find the Support Team phone numbers here.
Thank you for your patience with this.
