Today, the FIFA 23 Web App is being released. To be prepared for possible login issues, you can secure what’s called “backup codes” right now.
What kind of problems could arise? Many FIFA fans are waiting for the web app release, and this evening a lot of fans will likely want to jump into the app at once.
In past FIFA releases, this typically caused login issues at launch. It was nearly impossible to get into the web app due to the overwhelming demand. However, the main issue only followed during the actual login: Many players need to re-verify themselves to access their account in the web app.
To this end, EA can send a verification code via email. However, in past releases, this step also took a long time because so many users had to be served.
But you can also try an alternative.
This is how backup codes work for FIFA 23
These are backup codes: Backup codes are an alternative verification method that you can prepare in advance of the web app release. You can use these codes at launch if the email from EA arrives late.
Here’s how you get the codes:
- Log into your EA account. Here’s the login page (via EA.com).
- Select the small user icon at the top right of the screen.
- Now go to your settings.
- Select the “Security” section.
- Click on “View” next to “Backup Codes”.
- You will receive a verification code to your email address. This is not the correct code. You need it to display your backup codes.
- Enter the code in the input field of your EA account.
- You will now see a total of 6 personal codes that you can use for verification.
- Important: Do not leave these codes lying around, as they can be used for logging into your EA accounts.
With these codes, you are at least prepared in case there is a delay during the early access of the web app starting today. Once the web app is released, players who already have a FUT account can log in and access features like the transfer market. If you are completely new players, you will have to wait for the game release to sign up for Ultimate Team for the first time.
Speaking of early access: There is currently no demo for FIFA 23 – how can you play before?
