YaddleTwo Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I've had to use a one time pass-code to log into the forums and website here since... well a long long time, but it's never asked me to wait for one to log into the game. I logged in normally on Tuesday but just now i had to wait for a one time pass code to be sent. Is this a new thing? Also if it is it kinda stinks because sometimes i just want to log in quick, get the daily for login in and log quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 It happens sometimes. If you get a security key app (any TOTP authenticator will do), you can completely remove the need to ever wait for single-use password emails. And get 100 CCs a month extra.

Of course, then you have to put an extra password in every freakin time - hardly helps with quick log ins. 😁 OP: The One Time Password is normally asked for if the system detects a change in you IP address or sometimes a change in hardware. The IP address can change if you (or a hacker) try to log in from a 'new' location such as school versus home, etc, or if your ISP does not put a long enough 'hold' on your IP. Sometimes it can also change if you upgrade and/or replace your computer's hardware - especially the motherboard. Sometimes it will change because of maintenance/upgrades at the ISP.

Yeah nothing has changed since last summer when i had to get a new hard drive that's the odd thing. I mean to post this i had to wait a few minutes for a code to get emailed. And as long as i keep this browser open i can log in and out however if i close this browser and open a 'new one' it'll ask me to wait for a one time use code again lol Also i always play on the same pc in the same spot. I logged in like once from another location just to check something right quick but that was years ago. But i've never had the game itself ask me. 9 hours ago, SteveTheCynic said: It happens sometimes.
