1. Run the game as an administrator

The first step towards solving this issue is to run Apex Legends as an administrator. This will ensure that the client will have the necessary permissions to launch the anti-cheat services. To do this, right-click the game's icon and select "Run as Administrator".

2. Make sure Apex Legends and Easy Anti-Cheat are whitelisted

Next, check your antivirus and firewall applications to make sure that both Apex Legends and Easy Anti-Cheat are whitelisted. This will prevent them from being blocked by your security measures and will help the game to run smoothly.

3. Check that Easy Anti-Cheat is installed correctly

If the anti-cheat isn't installed correctly, then it won't be able to launch successfully and you'll encounter the "Failed Authentication" error message. To fix this, you'll need to repair or verify the game files. On Steam, you can do this by right-clicking on Apex Legends in your library and selecting "Verify Game File Integrity". On Origin, you can select "Repair" from the game's context menu.

By following the steps above, you should be able to fix the Apex Legends failed authentication issue. Once you've done that, you'll be able to get back to playing your favorite battle royale game without any further problems.
