Origin Online login is currently unavailable [ Edited ]

[KawaiiSpider]

I'm connected to internet and all other applications on my computer are working and connected. Whenever i try to play a game it automatically wants me to resign into Origin. I put in my login information and it says "online login currently unavailable" and "You must be online when logging in for the first time". I have followed the steps on the ea website and nothing is helping. I am able to login to Origin on the website but not on my computer.

@KawaiiSpider Hey, generally when this error occurs and you are connected to the internet it is simply an issue with your anti-virus or firewall blocking Origin. Best thing to do is disable both and try launching Origin, if it works then you can re-enable them and add Origin to the list of exclusions.

Let me know how you get on.
