The Simpsons: Tapped Out login verification code issue should get a fix but no ETA, says support (workarounds inside)

The Simpsons is easily one of the most popular animated shows to have ever made it to television in the U.S. And from its writers, we get The Simpsons: Tapped Out – a city-building game that lets you create your own version of Springfield.

The game’s story is based on Homer (of course) who accidentally causes a meltdown that wipes out Springfield. You are then tasked with undoing his mess by helping Homer rebuild the city.

The game is being overrun by a couple of major issues lately though. We previously highlighted how a recent update led to some users running into a login loop wherein the game kept asking them for verification code.

And now, users are facing yet another login issue wherein typing in the verification code results in the game throwing out an error saying that the code is incorrect. It persists even with repeated attempts, effectively making the game unplayable.

@EAHelp I’ve been playing Simpsons Tapped Out since the beginning and I’ve probably spent hundreds if not thousands on it. I just got a new phone and went to sign in and this new log in code isn’t working. It keeps saying it’s incorrect. Please help.

The issue is plaguing both iOS and Android versions of the game and has led to a slew of one-star ratings in the respective app stores.

While most users say that the verification code does arrive for them but doesn’t work, there are also several complaints about no verification code being sent out at all. This occurs to players with both valid and invalid emails.

Fortunately for the former case, there is a possible workaround that has been suggested by a Redditor and you are free to give it a try.

If that doesn’t work, then you will be relieved to know that EA is aware of the verification code login issue plaguing The Simpsons: Tapped Out and is already working on a fix.

Still, we will continue tracking the verification code login issue on The Simpsons: Tapped Out for further developments and will be updating this article accordingly so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
