Origin Log-in Problem -PERSISTS into 2018-see 11/8/17 review

1/5/17: I still cannot find my Origin friends! They can see me but I have no way of connecting.

11/8/17: I can now log in to Origin, but I still see none of the Origin players listed so I can’t invite them to play.

I just received a Developer response, asking me to update with 5.22. So I did, and using a new account (old one fails), I logged into Origin and it took!! Yea!!!! But I cant invite my Origin friends because none are listed?. Only my FB friends appear.

10/19/17: log in credentials are still not recognized, which is why I created a new account with my work email address. Now that account wont work: Im sent to the EA log in page; I type my email address in one box and Im told to check my emails for the new password. But the email with the new password never arrives.
