Passwords are case-sensitive. If you have forgotten your password you can request to have it reset here.
Note! Remember that your login is your e-mail address and not your user name.

I've had some serious issues with my Sims account. Back in, I would like to think, January, I had this same issue. I logged out of my Origin account, logged back in, and all of my Expansion Packs were gone. I had Cats and Dogs and Island Living installed and bought them both when they were discounted. I bought them from Origin. My other content, the Holiday Pack, is still there. I have done many things to try and fix the issue.

I read from a forum here that this happens when you are logged in on the wrong account, but I have only one gmail account connected to Origin. I have tried changing my passwords, which I did successfully, but there was still no change.

4) I have checked the details of the game and my account and it says that the packs were never downloaded in the first place. I only have the option to buy them again. I have proof that I purchased the expansion packs, at least what I think it proof, and screenshots of the issue. When I got to play my last save, it says that I cannot because I am missing the packs that I required, which are Cats and Dogs and Island Living.

I've had this problem before, but I gave up trying to fix it and just resigned not to play the game for a few months. I finally loaded the game up again, and everything was resolved. All of my packs were magically just back when I logged in again! Now, on the 4th, this happened again. My packs are gone and I am unable to play the game other than the base. I do not mean to be rude, but this is extremely frustrating considering that I put good money into this game and my packs are disappearing like this. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me get them back. I'm not sure what to do.

Hey @yeetuschick it's most likely the case that you have multiple EA accounts and are logged into a secondary account. The best thing to do is log out of your Origin account and then on the sign-in page hit forgot password and enter any email accounts that you may have. If there is an account linked to that email then you will receive an email prompting you to reset your password.

In several recent investigations of SaaS security incidents, the Obsidian threat research team identified a novel attack vector in the wild: abuse of the Azure AD self-service password reset (SSPR) feature.

Self-service password reset is an Azure AD feature that allows users to reset their password without the involvement of an administrator or help desk. It is designed for convenience and productivity so that users who forgot their password or get locked out can easily reset it themselves with minimal friction.

Administrators are able to configure SSPR for the entire organization or a subset of groups via the Azure portal. They can also define requirements for permitted forms of verification and the number of verification methods required to perform the reset.

In one of our investigations, the victim recovered their phone service and regained access to their account with the help of their IT/security team. They still failed to reverse the malicious MFA enrollment, allowing the attacker to initiate another SSPR and take back the account. Now imagine this technique at scale against a large user base and how overwhelming it would be for any security team to address.

Disable SSPR globally. Microsoft recommends that SSPR be enabled for all users to reduce the burden on IT and minimize employee downtime should they forget their passwords. As many security practitioners know, this type of convenience often sits opposite of security.

Detect early signs of SSPR recon. Successful SIM swapping necessitates sufficient preliminary reconnaissance to identify a viable target. Aside from requiring the information to social engineer a mobile carrier, the adversary needs to determine whether or not the target is even susceptible to SSPR abuse.

Once you have valid Microsoft 365 accounts, you can initiate the SSPR flow and see which verification options are available. Attackers likely need to perform this recon as well if they are going to spend the time and effort performing the initial SIM swap.

The below screenshot shows a variety of user accounts initiating SSPR flows from TOR exit nodes, but never finishing them. This is a strong indicator that an attacker is performing recon and identifying potential targets for an SSPR attack.

Detect suspicious SSPR activity. While migrating away from tenant configurations that make SSPR abuse possible, it is important to have the appropriate detections in place that would detect its abuse by an attacker. If a SSPR flow is completed via SMS or phone call options from a rare and suspicious IP, it may indicate a potential SIM Swap attack that was then used to perform SSPR. While detecting the initial SIM Swap may be out of reach for security teams due to the lack of visibility into phone numbers and ICCID binding, identifying the follow-up attack methods are still within scope.

Those familiar with the Microsoft ecosystem will not be surprised when they learn that important settings related to SSPR are not available via an API or Powershell. At the time of writing this blog post, users that can perform SSPR can be pulled from a reports endpoint in the MS Graph API. However, the details around how many methods are required to perform the reset and which methods can be used can only be found via an internal API used by the Azure Portal web UI.

As SIM swapping becomes an active attack vector in the wild, it has more significant security implications on SSPR and other features that rely on the security of SIM. Security team should be aware of this attack vector, re-evaluate the risk level of enabling such features, and closely monitor any suspicious activities coming from this venue.

You can access your router's configuration page through your web browser on your computer connected to your network. If you can't connect top the Wi-Fi because you don't know the password, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the router. This will bypass the need for the Wi-Fi password.

Typical router addresses are 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.2.1, or 10.0.1.1 for Apple. Enter this address into your browser's address bar. If this doesn't work then you can press and hold the Reset button on your router for about 30 seconds to reset it to factory default settings. Then you can look up the default address for your router model and enter it into your browser.

Every router requires a username and password before you can access the interface. In many cases the default username is "admin" and the password is "admin" or "password". Of course this varies from model to model, so you should check your model online to see your exact login information. Most D-Link routers have a default user name of admin and password of admin or blank.

If you've changed the login in the past and since forgot it, or received a second hand router and the previous owner didn't reset it, you'll need to press and hold the Reset button on the router for about 30 seconds. This will reset the settings to default, allowing you to log in with the default username and password. Beware - this will erase existing configuration data on the router.

Once you are logged into your router, you will need to find the Wireless section of the configuration page. The exact name varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but generally you are looking for a "Wireless" or "Wireless Settings/Setup" tab or button.

Look for the box labelled "Password", "Passphrase" or "Shared Key". You can enter your new password into this box. Some routers will ask that you type the password again to make sure that you entered it correctly.

Try to create a strong password that would be difficult if not impossible to guess. It should not be related to anything personal, and should include a liberal amount of numbers, random cases, and special characters such as "!", "$" and "#". A strong password is usually at least 8 characters long.

There are three main types of wireless encryption: WEP, WPA, and WPA2. For the most secure network, you should be using WPA2. You may run into issues connecting older devices, however, in which case you could switch to WPA or WPA/WPA2. Selecting WEP is NOT recommended, as WEP encryption is very easy to break.

Once you have updated your new password, click the Apply or Save button. The router will then process the change, at which point any devices currently connected would be disconnected. After your settings are changed, you can connect to your wireless network using your new password.

A FEMA SID is required to register for and participate in any training provided by FEMA. Anyone that is to attend training provided by FEMA will be required to obtain a FEMA SID prior to registering for the training.

You can check to see if you have a FEMA SID by inputting your information on the Retrieve SID page. If you already have a FEMA SID, your FEMA SID will be emailed to you. If you attempt to register, you will receive a message that you are already registered.

The information collected at registration will only be used to verify your identity should you forget your SID or password. The SID will be used to maintain a record of your FEMA training participation.
