There's a notification for free month of Origin Access is you enable Login Verification on your EA Account. Anyone try this yet?

Not sure how this is a trap. It seems they are trying to encourage people to enable Login Verification so people have better protected accounts and in turn they might save money by not having to investigate account thefts as much. Blizzard did the same type of deal with World of Warcraft and gifted players with four additional inventory slots for World of Warcraft.
Edit:
I have been using Login Verification since they added it to Origin and its pretty much having to enter a code that is either emailed to you or done through an authentication app on your phone. You can choose to trust the device so you don't have to do it again.

It's a trap only if they can start to bill you automatically at the end of the month for yet another month (like the free month of Uplay+ was set to do, unless you specifically went into the settings to cancel your subscription).

When companies give you some for free it's ALWAYS a trap, lol.

Oh ok. Like the security key I have to use for SWTOR. They have been giving me 100 cartel coins a month for the past seven years. Pretty sweet trap.

They may be hoping you forget your subscription or you get invested in the free games and want to keep it.

Wait, no Admiral Ackbar in this thread yet? I am disappoint!
As for potential traps like this, not sure about EA access but as a general rule, whenever you hand in payment info, be sure to read carefully and also cancel whatever you subscribed to immediately (that was the trick to get out of the UPlay+ trap).
