Authentication's fail?

How to contact ea support varies by country/region.

https://help.ea.com/uk/contact-us/ is the route for me in the UK, however it will be different for others.

When I use that I get a variety of options, including 'Origin'. Our game isn't listed!
As for how to prove it's you, I don't know but the main thing is likely to be the Password, old Passwords and email address as well as two factor authentication (in my case a sms message to my phone).

Well, the "technical difficulties" seem to have caught up with me!

I have 2 factor authentication turned on and can't log in to the game.

EDIT: After a lot of trial and error I've found that with Chrome and Iron I can't login but with Edge I can. This is affecting not only my main account but all of my alts.

My issue resolved itself - but going from previous posts it could return.

and it has!

And again...

:-(

Edited
No support line active. :-(

Now, new message...


"Bad or expired credentials. Please try again or reset the password."

Hmm - I found this happened when I tried changing accounts. Is this the same with you? It's been OK all day today.

I entered the computer, accessed the logout page and then authenticated my user.

There the problems began.

I also tried to connect with another user and it gives me the same problem.

It shows the same error even trying to connect with Origin:

In my case, I just saw that I have an email (supposedly) from EA, stating that they have reset my password for security.

I try to access the forums and it works perfectly.

I try to access the game and it gives me a nice 500 error:


Edited:

And if I try to go to origin.com I get a message saying "Login is not available. Please try again later."



Note: It has not given me the option to enter username or password. It doesn't work directly.

Using Chrome (last version)

Important

Using another browser, I was able to access EA and request a password reset.
In this second browser it already allows me to connect to the game.

Has EA blocked all of its users to force us to change passwords? : -?

Edited:
After this change I can now play from Chrome again.
