Why is Origin such a piece of shit software?
I mean how retarded can you be to come up with something like Origin? It's worse than spyware. I would rather have 10 viruses and a billion trojan horses than to have this garbage on my computer.
I wanted to buy Dragon Age Inquisition BUT the stupid retarded crappy software doesn't want to let me login. I am sure my password is correct but this piece of shitty spyware still doesn't let me in. I tried to retrieve my password but this piece of crap software doesn't even send me an email to reset my password.
How the fuck am I supposed to play the new Dragon Age with this piece of shit software? Makes me wander if it's not easier just to pirate this cause Origin sure as hell makes it impossible to login.

Sounds like an issue on your end. You think your password is right and you aren't getting recovery emails so either you aren't checking your junk mail or your mail server is rejecting it for some reason. Never had an issue with Origin myself. Contact support and maybe they can help you out.
Nothing wrong with origin its just like steam uplay ect, You can't blame origin for something on you'r end.
I'm OK with Origin, never have problem with it, just dislike having it along side Steam to take bit of my system resources from time to time that's all.
From the sound of it, look like you may have enter incorrect email when register?
Well 'hate' is a strong word, but I had Origin hang on my system more than enough times, it also almost always does not close properly when I power down my system, and various other wierd things Origin likes to do...
Don't get me wrong I have no blind love for Steam either, but at least it doesn't hang nor does any wierd thing on my PC.
If it was up to me, and I could get any game there, I would only use GOG.com and nothing else. No DRM, you buy a game you d/l and turn it on from the .exe, like in the good old days, plus they often give you a bunch of free stuff to go along with it (art, music, maps, guides, avatars ect.). If theres a game I want I start by checking if GOG have it.

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
Now in defense of the OP, Origin does get a bit wonky from time to time with passwords.
When i wanted to boot it up to install DAI, it wouldn't accept the login it had saved from the last time i used it, it took me a few password resets to make it acknowledge that my information was indeed correct.
Shouldn't be getting wrong password errors after resetting the password, but it happens from time to time.
I don't buy any games from Origin or Uplay.
I only buy games on Steam. I never have a problem logging or any real problem on Steam. I just want a centrally located place to get all my games "Steam". As these companies leave Steam for a money grab it turns me off from them. So I stop buying their games.
I own a PS4 and a Xbone so if I want a game like dragon Age then I buy it on my PS4. This way I don't have to worry about logging in to a different system just to play one game they are all on my PS4. I look at the PS4 and Xbone in the same way as Steam on the PC its a place to play all my games with out having to go all over the place. All three are where I get my games, well more like 2 places I don't really use my Xbone for gaming lol.
THIS.... Iv never had any issues as well its just a real annoyance having it along side steam, not even a space issue for me, I just like having things all in one place orderly. To be honest i often overlook alot of good games from EA because of this. They should really reconsider how they distribute their software , I honestly believe they would do MUCH better if they did away with their current system.
Aloha Mr Hand !
Why? Cause Origin sucks? Or maybe I should just not play EA games. Yes, I think that would be wiser. They are not very good anyway.
Naah, I will just unistall Origin. Dragon Age is probably not that good anyway.
I am sure that the password was not wrong as I tried every single password I use. I can't have used a different password for Origin.
Anyways I DID receive the email letting me reset my password. It only took 10 HOURS! I did check my spam folders and everything at the time. In the end I did receive the email 8-9 hours later so now I am in.

Steam doesn't allow refunds and people are cool with that but Origin does and it's a piece of shit.
I like both and have both. I know it's not the cool thing to say but it's the truth.
In your case, its the thing behind the computer that's bugged.
Origin is lighter on the system than the overly loved and bugged Steam.
You might want to enable UPnP on your router
There's also a password recovery for the weak-minded people

Pff reading further through this thread. The OP is really bad at computers.
Ignore my post. I want no part in this thread.
TIL not wanting to give Valve a 30% cut of your revenue is a money grab.
Steam are charging as much as EA would charge a dev studio for publishing. If I was as big as EA games, it would make sense to have my own service. Origin starts faster than steam and doesn't update as often. It has Qt framework underneath so you can bet that its quite fast on technology alone. Plus that allow them to port the client to linux/osx easily but why they are not doing it yet is beyond me. Guess they don't have linux/osx ports.
And to all of you ... complaining about system resources.
if extra 200mb ram and 0% CPU is an issue for you ... you really, really, REALLY need to consider a system upgrade.
Don't be a sheep.
Origin is lighter than steam, that's true. However, I don't see how this is relevant to my case.
You are not very good at reading are you? I tried to recover my password. I did get the email eventually, after 10 hours. No biggie right.
I am not bad with computers. Origin is just terrible at sending password recovery emails it seems or there was some delays. It doesn't matter, I did get the email in the end I guess.

Wait... You're blaming Origin because you forgot your password? Huh?
