dr_mike Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Might be helpful if folks gave some information. A quick read of the thread shows only 1 person doing so. Mentioning at least who you're using for a email provider would be helpful as well as if you're checking the spam folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rieverre Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The address I'd been using since the launch of TOR stopped getting one-time password mails. I get those ever so often due to dynamic IP. It's annoying but I've gotten used to it. I gave it a day or so to see if there'd be any change and switched to my gmail account via the EA help site. Pretty annoying to suddenly have stuff stop working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuGWan Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have two static IPs and I'm used to getting a one-time PW request when I move between them. That, I understand. What I don't understand is why I've received 12 in a row since 2.8 on the same IP without moving between them. Every. SIngle. Time. My time is limited, and this is time I'd like to spend having fun playing a game I enjoy. Instead I'm accused of being an identity thief and have to spend it proving I'm not. Again and again. Thanks for that. That's without the other well-documented 2.8 problems. Those appear to be fixed, this apparently isn't even being investigated any more. These annoyances are really starting to add up for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebruixe Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I've had to call in a few times and ask tech support for help. They will give you a new one-time password over the phone. It's annoying to have to call in but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokkus Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The issue is not resolved btw. I had to open the launcher three or four times to get a password. Its not a disaster but annoying nontheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mestriik Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have had enough of this ****. Stopped playing last time because of this half-arsed "security" measure. And yes last time I switched my email from outlook.com to gmail - and that took about 4 days to sort out. I logged in today to play. Instead (now that I've waited nearly half an hour and on my second stupid code to login), I am logging in to cancel. No thanks to your stupid, rigid, acess-blocker.

PavSalco Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 This is how I've done it long time ago: Go to your account settings, change your email address. You should get a confirmation email. Confirm it and enjoy the game. You won't be asked for one-time password any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esdlaswor Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 i cant get my one time password idk why i been waiting and im paying for this ****... solve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhaws Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I used to get the OTP every time I logged in. Almost unsubbed because of it - I quit Rift because of a similar mechanic. This time I just did the security key and thankfully no more OTP's although I do need to enter a code as well as my password every time I login, at least I don't have to wait 3 hours before I can get a OTP to play each night. They seriously need to get this sorted - its just really poor atm. We need a BW guarantee that the password will arrive at the absolute outside, 15 mins after requesting.

foxnhound Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Pretty BS. Brand new player, and this is the stupidest, most frustrating "feature" ever. Judging by how long this thread has been up (and others like it) fixing this is no priority; forcing people to buy your authenticator or what? Does buying the stupid thing prevent the "one time" email/password BS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
