Pogo Sign-In Page Is Changing

[Mayhem]

Pogo is moving to the unified EA Network sign-in system for improved security and functionality.

Beginning mid-to-late July, the sign-in page will switch to this:




You should continue signing in as usual, using your Pogo screen name and password. Soon after, they will be migrating accounts to the new EA Network system.

You will know it's your turn to update when you see this screen:




This screen will appear during the normal sign-in process. After hitting "continue", you will be prompted to set up a new password and security question. Once your account is updated, you will then be asked to sign in using your email address and Pogo password.

Ok, I don't want to appear dense but the image for the new sign in says "Email or Pogo Screen Name".  Is using the Pogo Screen Name an option for that first sign in, after which you will have to use your email as the "ID" - or - will using your PSN  remain an option?  I think I know the answer to this but thought I would ask for clarification.

Thank you.

It's my understanding that you will have the option to sign in either way (PSN or email address) on the new login system - until your account is upgraded.

Once your account is updated, you will then need to sign in using your email address.

This definitely looks like other EA sign ins. I play EA games other then Pogo and this is how you have to sign in. They went to this format with there other games awhile ago.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, they want to have the login match with everything else of theirs.

gotcha, ty

I don't mind the change with the exception of having to change a couple of email addresses.  That was a pain in the butt.  Now the hard part will be to remember which name goes with which address.  Guess it's time to make a new list with the name, password, email addresses.

So true. I have had to get help due to forgetting my pw. I hope this will not be a challenge.

At least I do have every single pw written down just in case.

Last night I signed in using the new format of signing in. The transition has started. Had no issues signing in.

I got the new format this afternoon. I still had to use my screen name to sign in (not email address).

I got the new format this afternoon. I still had to use my screen name to sign in (not email address).

That happened to me yesterday. Username, not email

[Squid]

Me, too... username only at this point.  It kept erasing my password as I typed it.  It finally accepted it but it wasn't easy.

[LittleFawn]

I had email address or screen name. I just used screen name.

[Stinkerbell]

As part of this new experience, I had to update my password this morning and got the message that from here-on out, I will need to use my email address to sign in.

[Mayhem]

Still nothing here ... I even tried to log out / back in and nothing got triggered.

[LittleFawn]

I think they are only doing a certain amount of accounts to change at a given time. I have not had to change anything yet from the last time.
