Never seen that error code "8012". When do you get the error? What device are you

using?

This error apparently occurs on DIRECTV STREAM/Gemini Air boxes trying to auto-sign into credentials with an inactive subscription. The OP likely purchased the box from a previous owner through a third-party (i.e. eBay) and the previous owner never logged out correctly. 

Another possibility is that they are a previous DIRECTV SATELLITE subscriber who unknowingly used the same email to sign up for DIRECTV STREAM. Therefore, the app/streaming device is confused when the OP puts their credentials in since the server primarily points toward an inactive satellite account.

The OP mentioned accessing "account" not the service, although your comments are valid statements. More details from the OP is needed.
