Login Issues

If you can't log into Apex Legends or keep getting kicked back to the login screen, follow these steps. First check whether EA / Respawn Entertainment's servers are down — server outages are the most common cause of login failures.

Step-by-Step Fix

1
Check EA server status
Visit help.ea.com/en/status/ and look specifically at "EA App" and "Apex Legends" status. Login issues are usually caused by EA's identity services being degraded.
2
Restart the EA App
Fully close the EA App from the system tray (right-click → Quit), wait 30 seconds, and relaunch. Sign out if you're in a login loop, then sign back in.
3
Clear EA App cache
In the EA App: click the hamburger menu (≡) → Help → App Recovery → Clear Cache. This removes corrupted login data. Restart the app afterward.
4
Verify your EA account email
Unverified email addresses can prevent login on new devices. Go to myaccount.ea.com → Security → verify your email address if you see an outstanding verification request.
5
Disable two-factor authentication temporarily
If 2FA is blocking login, visit myaccount.ea.com → Security → Login verification and temporarily disable it. Re-enable after successfully logging in.
6
Contact EA support
If none of the above work, contact EA Help at help.ea.com. They can unlock accounts, reset authenticators, and resolve account-specific login issues.
Is it server-side?
Check real-time player reports — if reports are spiking, it's on EA / Respawn Entertainment's end, not yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I log into Apex Legends?

Login failures are usually caused by EA's identity servers being down, a corrupted EA App session, or an account issue. Check help.ea.com/en/status/, clear the EA App cache, and try signing out and back in.

Apex Legends says my EA account isn't linked — how do I fix this?

Visit myaccount.ea.com → Connected Accounts and re-link your PSN, Xbox, or Steam account to your EA account. Broken links are a common cause of login failures after platform changes.

Why was I logged out of Apex Legends mid-session?

Mid-session logouts happen when EA's servers invalidate your auth token, usually during maintenance or an auth service restart. Log back in — your game progress is saved server-side.
