@TacoSalad4343  Have you checked the spam filter for your email account?  EA emails can often land there.

Another thing you can try is contacting EA customer support for help.  A support rep would also send you an email to confirm you own the address tied to the account, but that email might get through where the auto-generated password recovery email does not.

@puzzlezaddict Yes, I check the spam folder, checked everything everywhere I could. Did just about everything I thought I could to get it to work. I sent messages to it using other emails and other ways, still nothing. I can open it in outlook, but nothing ever arrives. Checked my email using an email checking website, and it said it could have mail routed to it but the account could not be validated, whatever that means.
I think that email account is simply busted for some reason. So unless I could somehow migrate that account to an email that works, or resurrect that dead email, I'm boned.

    @TacoSalad4343  You might be able to go through EA's account recovery process, also through customer support.  If you can prove you're the owner of this account, a support rep will be able to change the email address for you.

    I don't know what domain the email address uses, but you could also try contacting the host to see if there's anything to be reset on that end.

    @TacoSalad4343   Some email severs will turn off an email account if it is dormant after a given period of time. There are tools that can tell you if the email is still active. Try gsuit.tools/verify-email. Most email domains have a way to verify email addresses. EA support may be able to merge the EA accounts without knowing the password of the old account.
