What worked for me was deleting some files from my computer that had been downloaded the same day Origin wouldn't let me log in. just type in uninstall program into your computer's search and uninstall what you don't want. BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T UNINSTALL A NECESSARY FILE!

Got it to work from another thread. I had to:

Uninstall origin completely. Leave your games, just Origin.
Google search Origin Download. Use the filehippo link, should be build 10.5.41.27263
Download and install, go to settings and disable automatic game and Origin updates. Sign in and play

Note: I had to side step another download that they tried to push to me (brave browser) before I got to the Origin downloader.
