Issues connecting to battlelog/origin from xboxone

Right, I’m having a very frustrating time trying to connect my copy of battlefield 4 to origin/battlelog. I have an origin account set up for the hotmail account I use for xbox, however first this shows nothing relating to battlefield 4, no progress etc.
I tried going on the pc client, onto friends, add friends, connect via xbox, and found that apparently my gamertag is linked to another origin account. I then attempted to do password recovery on this new account but have received no emails in any of the email addresses I use, and none of my regular passwords work.
An account does appear to exist here but I cannot access it.

Any ideas or advice? this is proving very complicated and confusing. I’m really hoping I’m just missing something very obvious.

Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

ps. I’m new to battlefield

Your origin account can’t be the email that’s linked to your xbox live gamer tag. Origin account ends in “@ea.com” once you figure out your ea account, log in through Xbox and it’ll sync.

I have an origin account linked to a hotmail account which is my windows account. As in, that’s the one I log in with. If I have an @ea.com account for it I have never set a password for it. What do you mean log in through xbox?
