Had to reinstall Windows (went from 32 bit to 64 bit)
Now going through the process again...

Member Name:
PlayOnline ID:
PlayOnline Passowrd:


I know what my Name and PlayOnline ID is.

Is my Playonline Password the same one you use to log into on square enix site?

Because I'm using that same one.....even can log into the square enix site (where you add crysta)

Still gives me wrong Square Enix ID and Password is wrong...
Which confuses me because it orginally asks for Playonline....

Might have to wait until tomorrow because I have no idea what I'm putting in wrong lol

I know what my password was/is since i was just on like yesterday lol

You can update your POL PW on the Square Enix Account website.

I really do not understand most of your post.

Request the password trough the form offered at the login page. Follow the instructions. If you don't have access to your e-mail account you'r other alternative is to get your cd-key in front of you and get in contact with chat support trough the support page. Link is on the SE Account login page to the right.

Happens to me every time I use a new system. Whats going on is ur typing something wrong in the wrong slot lol. I tried for hours pissed and noticed it was because I didn't add the SE ID. I didn't have to with the old POL.

POL password is not your SE ID password.

When you first set up your Char on POL it asks you for:

Member name: Arbitrary name tag. It doesn't matter.

PlayOnline ID: It's the 4 Alpha chars and 4 numeric chars. Example: ABCD1234

Set Password: When you Choose this option, you won't have to type your POL password every time. But you do have to know it ^^;

POL password: This is your original password, the one that predates your SE account(unless you changed it).

Member Password: If you want an extra password... No idea why anyone would ^^;

SE ID: The one you use to log in to the SE site. Not your POL ID.
One-Time Password: Set this only if you have a token active.

They love to make this ***unnecessarily complicated don't they? I don't even know why we even have POL anymore at all. I want a log in like 14's.
