I need to change my EA email adress because it was hacked

★ Novice

My EA account email was hacked and stolen and I lost acess to it. I am trying to change the email on EA website but it needs one time password that it sends to the hacked email. I tried adding a secondary email and it requires a password from the hacked email too. Need some help

We've prepared some help guides that will outline what to do if you feel your EA account has been compromised. These steps will explain how to recover the EA account and update your security settings. I'll pop the links below, please read through them and follow as many of the steps as you can:

Please also make sure to take advantage of the security settings available for any of the connected accounts linked up to the EA account as well to ensure they are also secure. Examples of connected accounts include the email address registered, accounts such as your SteamEpic GamesAmazon and Twitch, and console accounts (PlayStationXboxNintendo Switch, etc). 

 

If you have an EA mobile game linked to your EA account, make sure to update the login details and security settings on the accounts linked to it such as on Facebook, Google Play, or your Apple ID:
