EA Account 2FA Not Working

★★★★ Novice

Who must I contact to fix this? The 'help' link in the email I receive is dead.

 

The problem is that upon activating my 2FA, it indicates that the code provided is invalid. The procedure I followed to obtain the code is 100% correct, it should work.

 

Kind regards

Hi @SeSSioN_ZA,

Gotcha, looks like you'll need to reach out to an advisor at http://bit.ly/EA_Contact_Us for additional assistance on this one for account security reasons. Unfortunately I can't go into further detail over Answers HQ with this specific issue.

Hi @SeSSioN_ZA,

Sorry to hear this, is this happening in a specific game like Simpsons Tapped Out or when you try to access your account?

Hi @EA_Cade

Thank you for your reply, no not in a specific game. It's happening when I try to enable 2FA on my account, I receive a code in my email to verify that it is me, this code successfully works. Then I have to choose between email verification or authenticator. I tried both and unfortunately the codes simply return an error stating that the code provided is invalid.

Could this be because I recently changed my email address for the account? and the system just needs sometime to update.

Kind regards

Hi @SeSSioN_ZA,

Hmm, I'm showing that you have login verification currently enabled on your account. Do you see that reflected if you check your account here?

Hi @EA_Cade,

It is not this account that needs login verification enabled but my shared account with my younger brother. Sorry for the confusion, probably should have mentioned that in my reply.

Kind regards
