How to fix error code 100 in Apex Legends

At some point or another, most Apex Legends players have more than likely had to deal with the infamous Error Code 100. 

The error message has to do with players being unable to sign into their EA account and has several causes. As such, players aren’t sure how to fix the problem or what to do if it comes up. The question of what to do has been asked since the bug was discovered back in 2019 and most still have no idea how to solve the problem and get back into Apex Legends. 

That’s no longer the case, as we know exactly how players can fix the bug and hop back on the battle royale.
