EA account recovery

How to recover a hacked EA account (EA FC, Apex, Battlefield)

One EA account holds your EA Sports FC Ultimate Team, Apex Legends and Battlefield progress. If someone got in, resecure it with EA’s official steps and close the doors they used.

How to recover a hacked EA account

  1. Step 1

    Reset your EA password if you still can

    Use “Forgot your password?” on the EA sign-in page and choose a strong password you do not use anywhere else.

  2. Step 2

    Secure the email on the account

    Change your email’s password too. If the attacker controls your inbox, they can take the EA account back.

  3. Step 3

    Contact EA Support if you are locked out

    Go to help.ea.com and follow “What to do if your EA Account was hacked”. Give your original account details and purchase information.

  4. Step 4

    Turn on two-factor authentication

    Enable login verification in your EA account security settings. If you play on console, reset your PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo password as well.

  5. Step 5

    Store the new details in LoginScout

    Save the new password and backup codes on your EA card.

How EA accounts usually get stolen

Fake FC Points and coin offers

Coin sellers and “free FC Points” sites often ask for your login. Giving it to them hands over the account.

Reused passwords

Leaked passwords from other sites get tried on EA automatically.

Saved passwords in a browser

Malware from cheats or cracked games steals passwords saved in your browser.

No login verification

With two-factor authentication on, a stolen password alone will not get anyone in.

Ultimate Team items missing after a hack

Report missing items to EA Support in the same case. EA reviews each case, and there is no guarantee items come back, which is why securing the account early matters most.

Never pay a third party who promises to “restore” your club. Only EA can.
