Apex Legends / EA account

How to make an Apex Legends account — free EA login on any platform

Apex Legends is free, but it still needs an EA account. Your legends, skins, and ranked history follow that EA login, so set it up once and keep it where you can find it.

How to make an Apex Legends account and save it

  1. Step 1

    Install Apex from Steam, the EA app, or your console store

    It is free everywhere. Avoid “Apex account” shops — those are stolen or shared logins that get banned.

  2. Step 2

    Create or sign in to your EA account

    On first launch you are asked to link an EA account. If you play any other EA game, reuse that one.

  3. Step 3

    Turn on EA login verification

    Enable email or authenticator verification in EA account security and keep the backup codes.

  4. Step 4

    Check cross-progression links

    Apex supports cross-progression between platforms when they link to the same EA account. Confirm each link before you buy anything.

  5. Step 5

    Save it in LoginScout

    Store the EA ID, email, password, linked platforms, and backup codes on one card.

Why track the EA login behind Apex

Your skins are on EA, not Steam

Heirlooms and battle passes are tied to the EA account. The storefront just launches the game.

Same login as Battlefield and FC

One EA account covers several games. Protect it like the hub it is.

Ranked alts get messy fast

If you run a second account for practice, give it its own card and status so logins never swap.

Recovery needs details

EA Help will ask for the email, platform IDs, and purchase info. A vault card has them ready.

Apex accounts and EA’s rules

Buying, selling, or sharing EA accounts breaks EA’s terms and is a common way to lose everything to a chargeback or recovery claim.

LoginScout never sells or generates Apex accounts. It stores credentials for accounts you created.
