EA account recovery
The Grid Nexus does not recover accounts or request account credentials. Follow the official process.
-
1. Review recent purchases
Check your EA purchase history for charges you did not make, and do not click links in unexpected receipt emails.
-
2. Secure the account first
Change your password and enable two-factor authentication so a thief cannot keep spending.

3. Report the unauthorized charge
Dispute the charge through EA's official support — never a third-party refund service.

4. Review saved payment methods
Remove or replace any card or payment method you do not recognize.
Before you start
- Secure your email first. Your email is the master key — if it's compromised, the attacker can reset every linked account. Change its password and enable 2FA before you recover anything else.
- Use a clean, trusted device. If your PC or phone has an info-stealer, recovering on it hands the new password straight back to the attacker. Run a scan or use a second device.
- Gather proof of ownership. Purchase receipts, original email addresses and an approximate sign-up date all help EA support verify you're the real owner.
What to expect
Recovery through EA's official support is always free. Self-serve steps above usually take minutes; a human identity review can take hours to days. EA will never ask for your password, 2FA codes or recovery codes — any "support" contact that does is a scam.
After you're back in
- Enable or reset two-factor authentication immediately.
- Sign out all other sessions and remove unknown devices.
- Remove saved payment methods until you're sure the account is secure.
Account recovery is always done through EA's official support, free of charge. Anyone offering to "hack back" or recover your account for a fee is scamming you — and no legitimate process will ever ask for your password, 2FA codes, or recovery codes.
