Pogo is moving to the unified EA Network sign-in system for improved security and functionality.
Beginning mid-to-late July, the sign-in page will switch to this:

You should continue signing in as usual, using your Pogo screen name and password. Soon after, they will be migrating accounts to the new EA Network system.
You will know it's your turn to update when you see this screen:

This screen will appear during the normal sign-in process. After hitting "continue", you will be prompted to set up a new password and security question. Once your account is updated, you will then be asked to sign in using your email address and Pogo password.

Ok, I don't want to appear dense but the image for the new sign in says "Email or Pogo Screen Name". Is using the Pogo Screen Name an option for that first sign in, after which you will have to use your email as the "ID" - or - will using your PSN remain an option? I think I know the answer to this but thought I would ask for clarification.
Thank you.

It's my understanding that you will have the option to sign in either way (PSN or email address) on the new login system - until your account is upgraded.
Once your account is updated, you will then need to sign in using your email address.
This definitely looks like other EA sign ins. I play EA games other then Pogo and this is how you have to sign in. They went to this format with there other games awhile ago.
Yeah, they want to have the login match with everything else of theirs.
gotcha, ty
I don't mind the change with the exception of having to change a couple of email addresses. That was a pain in the butt. Now the hard part will be to remember which name goes with which address. Guess it's time to make a new list with the name, password, email addresses.
So true. I have had to get help due to forgetting my pw. I hope this will not be a challenge.
At least I do have every single pw written down just in case. giggle2.gif
Last night I signed in using the new format of signing in. The transition has started. Had no issues signing in.
I got the new format this afternoon. I still had to use my screen name to sign in (not email address).

That happened to me yesterday. Username, not email
Me, too... username only at this point. It kept erasing my password as I typed it. It finally accepted it but it wasn't easy.
I had email address or screen name. I just used screen name.
As part of this new experience, I had to update my password this morning and got the message that from here-on out, I will need to use my email address to sign in.
Still nothing here ... I even tried to log out / back in and nothing got triggered.
I think they are only doing a certain amount of accounts to change at a given time. I have not had to change anything yet from the last time.
Used my email address to sign in to my pogo account today
No problems

Me, too.
Had to convert to EA sign in this morning.
Still nothing here ...
I got my notice to update this morning, but I had to change my email. What an ordeal. I didn't realize I must have had an EA account email address same as my pogo
Finally got it sorted now.
I've still have not been switched over. Is anyone else still waiting for it?

Maybe non-US folks haven't been rolled out yet?

I must be. I never sign out of Pogo and have not had to sign in again so I guess I am waiting. (USA)
One account switched for me. Secondary account not switched. East Coast, USA
The only switch I had was that signing in I have to use email or screen name.
Ok, I was curious because Pogo hasn't made announcements about it. I don't even see the advert on their main page anymore.
I'm not sure if this means anything ... but last night and this morning I had to log in even though I have the "remember me" box checked.

IE makes me do that every time. Always has.
Ah ... I was thinking my account was going to be converted over soon.

Did IE always make you sign in before? If not, then maybe it's an indicator that they're coming for you, too. Did you try another browser? Only IE makes me sign in.
I don't remember having this issue in IE until yesterday. I will try edge and chrome and see if it auto logs me out.
Nothing has changed here.
<--- Like my spider?
No change either ... still logged in to Pogo since my last post.
Where did you get your new avatar from?

It is one of Poppit HD's rank Icons. I have them all, lol
It looks good! tumbsup.gif
I just can't figure out how you were able to use it ... as the forum to set to only allow max 150x150 images for avatars.

At first I thought it was a chocolate octopus. Clearly I've been low-carb too long.

You're welcome! tumbsup.gif
It finally happened for me ...
(https://i.imgur.com/jomlZ9x.png)
It happened to me the other day. I had no issues.
No issues here as well - it went very smoothly!
It finally happened to my secondary account but I am having a problem. When I sign out of one account and try to sign into another, I'm instantly being signed back into the account I just signed out of. There are a couple of seconds when I can change but I have to be exact with the mouse and frequently miss the window of opportunity. Then I have to sign out again and try all over. This is happening in IE, Chrome and FF. Anyone else?
I'm not having that issue here. It sounds like a website cookie issue though.
In Chrome, you can try just deleting "cookies and other site data". Note that doing this will sign you out on anything else you logged in to on that browser.
Just make sure you "uncheck" everything else. You don't want to delete "passwords and other sign in data" or "auto form data".
Just go to this URL in your Chrome browser, click on the "advanced" tab and select "time range: all time".
chrome://settings/clearBrowserData
Thanks! I'm going to try this.
ETA: nope, still happening. I'll look around. TYVM
If you have no important login's stored in Chrome, you can try checking all the boxes and see what happens.
I don't have internet right now and have to use the computer at the library, so i only found out about this in sept. i was wondering if anyone knows if there's a time limit on when we have to do this? i just don't want to lose my accounts.
I haven't heard anything about time limits. It's my guess that you'll have to address it when you sign in, regardless of when.
Pogo has posted a new video to guide you through this new Pogo login process.
Guide to the New Pogo Login Process
As a part of Electronic Arts (EA), Pogo is moving to the EA Network for account sign-ins. This means added security for you and the ability to access every EA game, site and service with a single account.
During this transition process, your Pogo Account will be turned into an EA Network Account. Don't be surprised if you get updated before your friends – the process will happen at different times for different players. You'll just need a new password and security question.
https://help.ea.com/en/help/pogo/pogo/pogo-accounts-are-now-ea-accounts/
All remaining accounts will be switched over in the next couple of days.

Service Update: All Remaining Pogo Accounts Are Moving to the EA Network
As part of Electronic Arts (EA), Pogo has been migrating to the EA Network for account sign-ins. This means added security for you, and the ability to access every EA game, site and service with a single account.
Most players on Pogo have already moved to the EA Network. For those of you who have not, your accounts will be transferred over in the next several days.
Once your account is updated to the new system, you will need to sign in with your email address and Pogo password instead of Pogo screen name.
Thanks for your patience throughout this transition!
