Apex Legends SSL Connect Error: How To Fix It
For the most part, the method for fixing an SSL connect error is quite simple. If your game is frozen and showing an SSL error, you need to head to the EA website. There, you need to sign in to your account. If you are playing on a console, you just need to link your accounts.
Once you are logged in, you should get a pop-up. It will ask you to accept EA's terms and conditions, and you will need to accept them. Do this, then start up your game again. You should be able to log in now with no issues.

Apex Legends SSL Connect Error: Further Solutions
If the previous method does not fix your problem, there is more you can do. Another potential fix for the SSL connect error is to disable two-factor authentication. 2FA is a good tool for security, so you should not disable it lightly. Only do this if you have tried the previous method, waited a while, and the issue still persists.
To do this, you need to log into your EA account again on the website. Once logged in, go to Account Settings, then Security, and find the option for two-factor authentication. If it is enabled, turn it off. Now return to Apex Legends and see if it works. If this solves the problem, the job is done. If it does not, be sure to reactivate two-factor authentication again. Regardless, you should turn it back on once the issue is passed.
