WORKAROUND: LOGIN TIMEOUT FOR STEAM USERS

robertericdavisub17_ESO
Hey guys & gals, I am a Steam user having this issue and I figured out how to get it to work.
Here's how:

1) Go to elderscrollsonline.com and select "Sign in through Steam"
2) Go to your account info and write it down/memorize how your name and email are entered
3) Log out and reset your password
4) There may be a back and forth with a code being set to your email
5) Now, launch the eso64.exe game client directly (e.g. C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client)
6) Login using your reset password from before
7) A code will be sent to the registered email withy ZOS
8) It may take up to 10-15 minutes for the email with the code to arrive, enter it and NOW YOU CAN LOGIN!

Hope it helps! See ya in Tamriel! :)

    Does not work, it is the same method posted time and time again. As has been replied before those who bought the game directly from steam without an original ZOS version of the game they linked can NOT use the method to log in you and many, many, many others have stated, whether you change your ZOS password or not.

    I can confirm this does not work if you bough ESO from Steam after November 2016. After you provide your login details, a message pops up saying the game must be launched from Steam. The End.
