SWTOR Security Key can't get off my Acc, Phone rep couldn't help

Here's my story, I need help with removing a SWTOR security key since I got a new phone since I stopped playing.

I played about 2 years ago, and hooked up a security key to my account, fast forward to today and I am trying to remove it.

I called up the SWTOR help line, they told me to go through Origin launcher to reset password on SWTOR that way.

I tried to do that, but SWTOR isn't in my game library in Origin, and I don't know how to get it in there.

I believe I played the stand alone client, not one hooked up to Origin or anything, so I don't even know how to reset my password through Origin. 
If I go to the SWTOR website, enter in my information, click LOGIN, then I do not get prompted with anything that says "Lost Authenticator" I just get prompted with contact customer service again.

Thanks for all help guys, I really hope I can play this game again.

    If you know the username and password then resetting the password on the EA account associated with the swtor account isnt going to help.

    CS should of removed the security manually over the phone

    What is your swtor username ? will see if @EA_Kipling can have a look at what occurred when you called to see if this was a mis-communication.

    If the username and password is correct going to www.swtor.com (not on the launcher) and you leave the security key blank then what you should see is similar per below 

    If this doesnt appear only CS can remove the key over the phone.

    To make it clear, CS told me that If I log in from the SWTOR website that I will get what I see currently, but if I hit forgot password from the Origin client, I will get something that looks like the screenshot that you posted.

    Sswtor CS here will be on soon, but apart from trying a different web browser to see if the link appears 

    If it doesnt appear CS need to remove the key manually 

    Just to confirm it was swtor CS per the numbers at this link and not EA CS as they cant remove a security key

    The number on the page you linked me was the number that I called. If CS did not perform it correctly, it must have just been miscommunication. The associate was very nice and understanding, but it was hard to hear him, and although he repeated my log in name about 5 times, it was hard to know if he actually said it correctly.

    Alright, I will try that tomorrow. I told them that I need to remove my security key, but they said the only way to do that was to reset my password on the Origin App, since I was not getting the "lost authenitactor" button on the website.

    sorry that happened @skulspike92. I believe there might have been some miscommunication on CS end and I apologise for that. Please do give them another call and I am sure they can remove the security key and you will be able to get back into the game.
