UPDATE - Fixed those with physical key fobs should now be able to login

 

@StarblastBlade

 

There is an issue logging in with an old security key at present , (one linked prior to Jun 2015)

 

Removing the key and re-attaching with the new key is one workaround at present.

 

The old physical key fobs also have this issue

 

There is this info guide as well (Link) to help remove the key

 

If the username and password is ok , leave the key part blank then on the next screen click on the lost key link

This is purely ridiculous. I had bought the Collectors Edition with a security key and now being forced to get a different key which if your phone gets hacked, stolen or lost someone else could get into your account. It would be best just to let the old keys to continue to work.

@Cisttech

 

Another player reported he removed and re-attached his physical key fob without issue see this post  

 

Edit - seems whilst it can be re-added it still doesnt work to login

I also am not to happy about this "work around"..Either it will continue to work or not.  It would be one thing to get OFFICIAL information from someone at EA or Bioware on the SWTOR website or even TWITTER (where we are directed for info).  Instead  all I have seen is info relayed from another player to the community.  We all know "stuff happens" however, I for one would love to hear "whats up" from those who are involved in what's happening and how its going to be fixed ect..  Standard smile

Not removing my security key so if they can't fix it soon it will mean I just need to cancel my sub since they can't be bothered to fix it.

Using the word "may" is bordering toward condescending. It's an obvious that this is causing frustration with ... EVERYONE that are unable to lock in.
