Can't log into Sporepedia website anywhere. (Too many redirects)

★★★ Newbie

Every time I try and sign into the Sporepedia, I get a "too many redirects" error, so I can't sign in. It seems like accounts.ea.com doesn't work anymore, or doesn't exist?
Up until last night I could at least get the dumb thing to work on my phone, but now I can't even get it to work there.
I've tried three different browsers (Edge, Basilisk, Safari, and Safari worked for sure in the past, even just a couple days ago). I've tried clearing all cookies. Still no luck.
I've also attempted signing in through my cellular data instead of my wifi.
I would very much like to be able to see the Sporepedia website! The version in game doesn't let you search all creations.

It seems like someone I know who plays Spore isn't having the same issue, but he says he hasn't had to resign in in years, but I recently had to change my password.
Any ideas would be very nice.

Found a way around it.
It's a dumb way, but it works.
So, I had to unallow my browser from remembering my password, and also had to tell EA to not remember this device. Because for some reason, when I go through it in such a way that I have to type in a security code, it works? At least for a bit.
Also, Chrome and Safari actually load the images of creatures and adventures... for some reason Edge doesn't.
So basically I just need to sign in from scratch every time? Will update if it continues to blow smoke in my eyes.

I still have the issue and I can't logn into the EA account which has Spore, Spore C&C and GA. It says Login Failed. There was an error connecting to the Spore servers. Your computer might be offline (lol no) or your internet conection may be having problems. Visit spore.com for additional assistance or server status." 

 

I have the GoG versión, redeemed the keys into the EA account which I'm using in the register section.

 

 

EDIT: just fixed it, this was happening on a fresh spore account. I made another spore account using the register menu of spore and the sporename MUST be another name that is not your EA ID. Then, I could login and enter spore.com.

Adding to this just to be thorough:

 


 

The page isn’t redirecting properly

 

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

 

  • This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

 

The above is the error message I've been getting on my PC, copy + pasted directly. (On my phone, it just says 'too many HTTP redirects'.)

 

For some reason, I can still access the Spore.com website without any errors on my Surface Pro, but not from my primary PC or my phone. Not sure why, since I'm using identical browsers and extensions on PC and my Surface?

 

I thought it was because I recently created an alternate Screen Name on the website, but it doesn't seem like that's the issue. Or at least, it isn't the only one...

It's been happening ever since the finished the maintained. Looks like something wasn't done correctly when it was all set and done.
