Hi @ti5hko

 

I'm sorry to hear the EA Help site's acting up for you. 😓  Let's try opening it up in an incognito tab on PC, without logging in to the site, with the following link:  https://help.ea.com/en/help-home/?r=1

 

Try selecting these options from there:

  1. On the EA Help homepage, type 'EA App' into the search bar and select the tile that appears.
  2. Select See all help topics.
  3. Select the Manage my account category.
  4. Select I need help with my hacked account.
  5. Click 'Continue without signing in'.
  6. Under the heading 'Still need help', the available contact options should appear (I consistently get the option to reach out via live chat with this).

Let me know if those options work out for you. 

 

Once in touch with an advisor, let them know the email on your EA account so they can pull up your account right away and start helping you.
