@OllyBongo1  Asking for a security question has been in effect for some time and is not the 2 step login. A 2 step login you have to verify your computer and then login. Banks have been doing this for some time. When you try to login the server will then send a code that you have to use to verify your login. This procedure may create a cookie that will be used for a specified time so you don't have to verify every login but periodically you will probably have to re verify. your security question is used when you contact EA and that is used to verify the caller. Account security has become a big issue as of late. The only thing I can think of you'll have to contact EA customer service about this issue - link - How to contact EA customer service
