But make sure that you remember it, or you could save it somewhere safe and easy to find. Turn on the Login Verification to be extra safe. You can do this by going to your EA account and searching for the Security Settings. There you will find under the Login Verification a turn-on button. You will have to choose what method you want for Verification, and EA will send you a code through the method you pick. Contact EA Support about your situation.

That is an optional step if you are still skeptical about hackers taking your accounts.

Can I use these steps if I use Steam instead of Origin?

How does Apex Legends detect cheat codes in-game? Is there any Anti-Cheat System?
Most of the time, accounts get banned in Apex Legends through reports from other players, and the Anti-Cheats system will review the reports and investigate the player’s account.
