Why am I receiving a "Your login information was incorrect" message when attempting to log into the game on PC/Mac?

Your login informatin was incorrect.

You may receive the "Your login information was incorrect" error if you're using incorrect login credentials or have yet to redeem a Game Registration code on your ESO account.

Should you receive this error when attempting to log into your account at https://account.elderscrollsonline.com, you should verify you are using your UserID (not e-mail address) and correct password.  

If you purchase a physical copy of the game from a retailer, you will find the game code on a slip of paper in the game case. If you buy the game through Steam, you will need to go into your Steam Library and log in to ESO through your Steam

Once you have your code, log in to your ESO account on the website and click on the Redeem Code box. Enter the game code and the account is all set!
