There could be various reasons for this sign-in error to occur. Some of them are listed here: 

• Your old EA account is linked to the gaming platform –  If you have an old account added to Steam or Xbox, you might get this error. You need to log in using the same performance and remove it from the EA website to fix it.

What can I do to fix the connect_error_social_login_failure error?

1. Unlink your old/disabled account

1. Visit the EA website and sign in to your EA account that you want to unlink.
2. Go to Profile.

5. Click Yes to confirm the action.

Tip

You can use the same process if your EA account is connected to Xbox or any other gaming platform.

1.2 If the account is disabled

If the linked account is disabled, you can’t unlink the EA account from your Xbox account. Instead, you need to contact EA support to get that account reinstated. Once done, you can use the above method to unlink the account from Xbox.

2. Link your main EA account

1. Once unlinked the old account, open any EA games on your gaming console or platform.
2. Enter your main EA account’s email address and password on the login page.
3. Once you sign in, your accounts will be linked.

3. Check if the console server is working
