Unable to link Steam account to SW:TOR
Tried linking my Steam account to SWTOR today, but I keep getting an error message that says "We can't log you in. Please double-check you're using the Steam account you usually play on and try again...

I am having the exact same issue, I decided I fancied trying to play again but I would prefer to play on Steam.
I used to play a bit on Origin, but I'm now returning to try the game again and I want to play on Steam.
When I log in, I get an error message, "We can't log you in. Please double-check you're using the Steam account you usually play on and try again."
How can I link my Steam account?
My SWTOR account has never been linked to a Steam account, and I do not have any other accounts. I have logged in via browser and the Steam account option says there are no accounts linked.
" There is no Steam account linked to your Star Wars™: The Old Republic account. "
The help pages are devoid of any helpful information, any ideas or is this something I have to put a ticket in for, I'm reaching the point where I don't really think I can be bothered anymore.
I have also followed the above instructions to check local files, I have only two account files, one with the name and one with the dev suffix. This is the same one I am trying to log in to. I don't have any other accounts, Steam or SWTOR.
Is it possible this is something caused by the recent CrowdStrike issues, perhaps either directly or indirectly through third party API's etc?
Okay, so I've just got off the phone with support.
I've been told they have a lot of calls today with the same issue, they've already raised it as a concern and the issue is currently being investigated, he could not give a timeframe, but suffice to say, this is not a personal issue with your account, it's a problem on their end and they're working to solve it.
