I can't log in to my EA Account

If you can’t remember which email is on your account, see if we can help you find your EA Account email address in a different way.

If you’re having trouble installing the app authenticator, setting up 2FA, or aren’t getting your codes, follow our steps in our 2FA article.

If you can’t access your email account, get in touch with your email service provider to see if you can recover it. Most providers let you recover your account by:

• resetting your password
• answering security questions
• verifying your identity or alternative email address associated with that account.

Look for these options on the sign-in page of your email service provider’s website, or visit their support site for more help.

Your email address may have been entered incorrectly or may not be associated with an EA Account.

To help keep your account secure, we limit how often you can update your email address. You can only update your email address to a new one once every 30 days. Learn more about updating your account information.

Try resetting your EA Account password. This helps in most cases.

If that doesn’t work, wait 90 minutes and try again. You may have tried to reset your password too many times, too fast.

If your platform account isn’t linked to your EA Account, follow these steps.

• Log in with your EA ID if you have the EA app. If your phone number is linked to your account, you can use that too.

If you don’t have access to your email address or can’t log in using a connected account, we can try to recover your account. Get in touch with us.

To help us recover your account as quickly as possible, have this info ready:

• the original email address on your EA Account
• any usernames that are linked to your EA Account, like your EA ID, Xbox Live gamertag, or PlayStation™Network Online ID
• any invoice numbers from games you’ve bought through an EA platform, like the EA app.
