which starts from today for one month ,
is this free from Origin that im unaware of?
or something more to it
is there a way see the devices that have been used with myorigin account ? , During October Origin ran a promo that gave you a free month of Origin Access basic if you had 2 step FA.It could be that?
https://help.ea.com/en-gb/help/account/login-verification-and-origin-access/ Interesting,
strange way to promote security,
but iv had 2 step FA on for age's ( im guessing well over a year if not longer)
not sure why it's kick in today , as i said i have even login for months ,
found the "trusted devices " and it was about 4 months ago since i login
if it wasn't for the email i wouldn't of even login in today .
well lets see if anything worth downloading and playing , seen as it's free . Got the same email, also struck me as odd, but my account looked OK security wise as I could still login with 2FA. I didn't get chance to contact them about this, but it's a weirdly iffy email. I cancelled my subscription last month as I wasn't using it BF5 campaignany good ? mixed bag, some of the missions were pretty good but it is woefully short. It's like most campaigns these day , look really good but are really short like you say.
well, seen as it's free , might as well download it and play it. Jedi, Fallen Order on the other hand is what a campaign should be. I am really enjoying it. Defo worthtry. /proxy.php?image=https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/J9Vxj3CRTngdum8qpJk1QY5Ju7c=/0x76:1224x717/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19393123/oalogoalternatergb.jpg&hash=60e53046bd7b0c43791a6d7eeae416de&return_error=1 No, your Origin account wasn’t hacked last night It was just EA doing something nice /proxy.php?image=https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/42931/favicon.ico&hash=88951323ff7083adb9986b4653bb434a&return_error=1 www.polygon.com
if only they had worded the email a little differently this would instead have been a PR win rather than a “scare” lol Is this included with the "basic" sub ?couldn't see it last night ,
I agree with that , it had me flapping around last night .
