SquareEnix account, SquareEnix account password, Playonline account, Playonline password, security token, and answering the riddle of the sphynx is required.

Same thing happened to me once. I had to call and they just questioned me about some of my personal information registered on the account. I think the longest part of it was waiting on hold.

I have 3 different subs on that Square Enix account. Not sure about having the playonline account/password. Thought those were rolled into just using the Square Enix accounts instead?

I can confirm OG registration codes, billing address, security token back, and square Enix stuff. I hope that is enough.

yea... anyone have a direct link to the square enix support. If it is down then that might explain why i keep getting a circuitous route after going through the options of needing additional support. or their PH#?

Slightly related, but has anyone gone from using the physical token to using the phone app that can give their two cents?

I have. It works the same as if you had bought a new token. Sometimes though the iOS one would derp when it updated and reset, so I would have to use the kill code on my account to reregister the token app... so if you're an iphone person, keep that code handy.
Haven't had any issues on android though.

Calling the number or using the digital messaging thing they have on the help website, you can get them to delink the token from your account if you tell them the serial number on the back of the token. (you'll need to somehow prove you're you though)

Yea I cannot find the direct chat link on their website right now, i saw it last night but that was after hours, so now, during business hours for some reason I cannot find it. I'll call here in a couple hours, just hope the wait time is not for ever.

Always have used their online chat option, I have an odd anxiety about phone calls (I'm working on it). Been a few years since I had to use it, email support is another option. Most annoying part is it's business hours PST, if it's after time on a Friday you're boned until Monday, best get it fixed today so you can get your fix, son.

yea i know, i have all day off tomorrow though, and i am in PST so, working on it. if you happen to have a direct link to start a chat that would be handy, for real cannot locate one on the official site.

Ugh, they don't even tell you an estimated wait time...

If it's an old install, may be better off reinstalling from scratch, it's quick.

Should do the new installer while you're at it. Free too.

Pretty sure I am using the new installer already, but what I am wondering, is if I should down load that now, at work, cuz it has the bulk of the game with it right? Then from there I can stream the updates? My internet at home is... Meh, we will see if it will allow the game, (I hot spot off my phone). Thoughts?

Call them up and ask for the token to be removed.
Worked for me 4 or 5 years ago
