I have the same problem (and from what I have found so far on the web, so have many others).
Here's a detailed description:
My EA and Steam accounts are linked, yet every time I start the game via Steam, it doesn't remember my device as previously authenticated and thus asks for a verification code on EVERY launch... Or rather tries to, because that horribly bad implemeted ingame browser fails to render the verification form every single time in VR mode and sometimes (completely random) in regular mode as well.
In VR mode it just shows a black screen with the word "close" on the top right that is impossible to get past, as in VR mode that button doesn't react to any input device, probably because it was built only with normal mode in mind where a mouse is available and no one ever thought of what would happen in VR. So, VR mode is effectively unplayable because one cannot even get to the main menu.
In normal mode, it sometimes renders the verification form and sometimes not, completely at random. If not, it then either shows a plain grey area or a completely transparent one. At least in normal mode I can actually click on "close" when the form fails to render, but then I am not signed in of course.
When the form actually does show up, it cannot be interacted with via the mouse at all, so I have to use the tab key to navigate through it. And after I entered the verification code (the box "remember this device" is always checked of course), I am properly logged in, but the next time I start the game again, I have to verify once more (provided that crappy ingame browser overlay works that time, which as I said before is a complete gamble).
In my EA account overview under "Security", the list of trusted devices gets longer with every login, always adding a new device called "Steam" instead of recognizing that I am logging in from the same Steam account on the same machine as before. I imagine if the game would properly recognize the verified environment, it would skip that terribly implemented verification form popup on subsequent logins, but since it obviously can't, the whole login process is basically broken, making launching the game in VR completely impossible and incredibly annoying in normal mode.
This means that the only way I can actually launch the game in VR is to log in to my EA account in the browser, deactivate the login verification under "Security" (which of course is a big risk for my account's safety), start the game in VR and then reactivate the verification again when it is running.
That is completely unfeasible and also a big risk to my account's security.
I can honestly say that I am quite baffled on how this whole process was implemented. I have never seen such a terrible in-game login mechanism in my entire life, how could something as error prone or rather outright broken as this make it into the game? Did no one ever test this, even though it literally prevents the game from actually being starting properly?
