Unlinking from Origin
Guide for un-linking your game from Origin to allow creating accounts in-game
If you are looking to have your player data pulled over from the official servers you must first login without unlinking, because unlinked accounts operate completely independently of the official servers so they have no player data associated to them by default.
Unlinking from Origin doesn't disable DRM or remove the requirement for launching from EA/Origin. These are still required if you are using a Stream/Origin/EA copy. Unlinking from Origin just disconnects your Origin account in-game so you can play with a custom account.
You still need a valid license in order for the game to decrypt itself. This is NOT a crack or Origin disabler tool
If you are using an Origin version of the game (Origin, EA Desktop, or Steam) these versions all lock you into authenticating through Origin
In order to enable the login screen in-game so that you can login using a email and password (Creating new accounts in-game as well) you can follow the steps below
If you are using ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager see ME3 Tweaks Mod Manager
Once you've unlinked from Origin check out the Unlinked Accounts guide for creating and logging into unlinked accounts
