Lost my App Authenticator

[tuanhtran277]

i used App Authenticator as 2-steps Login Verification. However, i restored my phone and lost my app. Now when i login on web, it requires Security Code from App Authenticator. What can i do now?. Thank for your help!

Hello everyone,

When first setting up login verification via either email, text or authenticator, you will have received a set of backup codes that are to be used when being unable to access your verification method. You can find them on the following page:

https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/security/index

If unable to access your backup codes, reach out to an EA Advisor to have your security settings reset. How you can reach out to them is detailed in the following thread:

you cant login anywhere as it requires the 6 digit PIN, how does one get around this.

It is impossible to contact EA support to help me get rid of this authentication method.
