Someone in Russia keeps trying to log into my Origin account. I know because EA keeps texting me the login code in Russian. I removed all payment info years ago, but I still added two-factor authorization just in case. Didn't change my password; I like my password, lol.
If the hackers are making it to the 2-factor stage, they already know your password.
Obviously. Not changing it; I like my password, lol. As long as they can't get in, I don't care. I have various passwords all over, so I'm not concerned about the possiblity of them using it elsewhere.
tbh you're asking for them to get in with this.
Really? Are they coming to take my phone? What's the point of two-point authorization if it doesn't work.
You're an grown adult (I'm assuming, if not, you are still in control of your own decisions) if you choose not to change your password, that's one you, but I hope you wouldn't be one of those people that will be complaining that EA didn't do enough to protect your account when they do finally get in. I guess the term of 'hacker' doesn't register with you. Two-factor isn't bullet proof. It's suppose to be a warning system to alert the user to change their password and better protect their account. It's as much your responsibility to keep your account safe as it is EA's.
