Origin online login is currently unavailable after Origin update

★★★★★ Novice

After an Origin update I keep getting Online login is currently unavailable. I've already tried re-installing origin as well as clearing the cache. I'm able to log in to origin through the web page still. Just not the client.Also I'm still able to use origin fine on my other boot drive.

I fixed this by adjusting my date and time, my PC clock was off by 5 minutes. windows 10

 

CM EDIT:You can also take the following steps.

 

- Completely close Origin, go to Control panel and under date and time, turn ON the synchronize it with the internet feature.


- For Windows 10, right-click the date/time on Taskbar, click adjust date/time and set 'Set time zone automatically' to ON''

 

CM EDIT 2: Additionally, the following may help - LINK

 

CE EDIT 3: We are seeing reports that removing non essential USB storage devices is an effective workaround at the moment.

Origin won't go online

[ Edited ]

So this could have something to do with my internet but origin won't go online at all, I reinstalled it thinking oh maybe that will get rid of the problem but it actually made it worse once I reinstalled origin it came up with the login page and all was well, or so I thought. It said at the top " Online login is currently unavailable." and since I reinstalled origin it was registering as my first time logging into the application and I ran into the big red screen saying first login needs to be online blah, blah. so I can't login to Origin and it obviously isn't a factor with my internet because I can compose this thread, I can go online play different games (Fortnite, IMVU, Brawlhalla, etc.) without any internet problems, but origin always seems to have trouble with white screens, offline mode, not showing games, all kinds of little annoying things please if anyone knows how to fix logging in help me.

 

Thanks,

From Josh♥

I had error 14-1 and then this. I connected with an adviser from EA who suggested I reset the internet explorer settings to default :
1. internet explorer

2. internet options

3. advanced tab

4. reset internet explorer settings at the bottom

    reset ...

Then restart the computer, and then check to make sure the pop up blocker is off:

  1. internet explorer
  2. internet options
  3. privacy tab
  4. pop up blocker
    make sure "turn on pop up blocker" is not checked.
  5. apply

    It worked after I did these steps.

    Good luck to anyone still struggling with this! I know how frustrating it can be.
