What a mess!
I have a feeling this whole verification fiasco was probably accidental (because they didn’t give people notice that they were going to do it) - perhaps a system glitch turned it on for people.
One possible solution for EA to consider - turning off the Log-in verification for all accounts, then sending an in-game pop up to let people know how to turn it back on if they want to. I doubt they will do that tho - too many issues surrounding security :/
Perhaps when contacting EA Support, you can ask them to turn off the log-in verification for you. But they will likely ask you all of the stuff mentioned in the above posts :/
If you are able to get the codes via email, and you don’t want to continue having to go through the trouble of having 2-factor verification, you can turn it off by accessing your EA account here:
https://www.ea.com/forums
You can get to your account by pressing on the little person icon at the top of the screen next to the question mark, and logging in with your password (and verification code).
Then, you can click on your icon/avi (again, next to the question mark at the top of the page), and select Account Settings.
From there, you select Security, then under Log-in Verification select “turn off” (it will involve another code being sent to confirm).
You should be verification code free after that.
Unfortunately, I think this only turns it on/off for logging into your EA account (for things like this forum), not for individual games. Sad thing is, this proves that they have a way to fix this mess, they just haven't implemented it.
