Where do you get a free month of Access on sign-up with Origin? The only things I've seen were temporary 7-day trials and this month-long one that's running now.
Also, as I and CheekyImp explained, it's not one code you need to keep at all times & not lose.
If you log in from a *new device* to some parts of the site (like your account settings page), you get an email or text with a one-time code to use right there and then to confirm that it's you.
Only in case that you lose access to the phone or email (or an app that does the verification) that you need the *backup codes* which you can write down or save somewhere. In case you lose those too, you can still contact the Origin chat/help to restore your account.
@orkhid22: You choose a contact to get verification codes on - your phone, your email, app verificator - and when you sign up from an unrecognized device or browser, you get a one-time code to that contact to confirm that it's you.
