Security Token shouldn't be required to sign in

[Auriga]

@ Cream_Soda - There is another post on this section where someone asks about
allowing for multiple forum names under one token where their situation is the token
is linked to several accounts in their household, can you begin to see where things
might go if unchecked? Now I'm not saying it's fair to that household but it certainly
proves the tokens effectiveness in forcing ONE user name.

PS: Not to sound off-set but a Beiber signature? seriously? this is just ME but that
signature alone looks/smells like trolling "gear".

The token has 0 to do with trolling. This is just the number of accounts linked to the specific square enix account.

You get 1 posting name per square enix account, regardless of whether or not you have a token.

Let's say I have 3 accounts tied to my SE account/token. I deactivate my token today. I don't get 2 new posting names for the other 2 FFXi accounts tied to my SE account, regardless of whether or not the token is there.

What you're speaking of is 100% a SE account issue, not a token one.

@ Cream_Soda - Your missing the part where I said the SE account system was intended for
use with the token. The fact that pre-token you can use this system doesn't intend for it to
be used as such forever. I can't speak for SE here but I'm sure the intention was to have
people using tokens regularly.

In the end it promotes security as your SE account is tied to your game account anyways
why in the world would you NOT want enhanced security considering how much time goes
into some of these accounts/characters?

Besides I'm sure SE doesn't wanna get emails about "my forum account was hacked
blah blah" anymore than they already do. If you don't wanna use a token here you
prolly shouldn't be using one at all if your that annoyed imo.

You can disagree but I'm walking away.. mostly..
because of that signature.. >.> buh-byez.

You MUST have a SE account to use these forums, whether you have a token or not.

Again the token has 0 to do with this argument.

This situation has 100% to deal with square enix accounts and absolutely 0 to deal with the token.'

It has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing because I'm not arguing or making any points about security. I'm talking about tokens having 0 to do with trolling, which it absolutely has nothing to deal with.

I'm not sure what part of that you're unable to understand.

No matter how much you disagree no one shares any love for the "troll" and as such it won't be tolerated.

Did you just troll while taking about trolls? Its equally simple to troll with a token as it is without one.

I hope in the future they have a separate log in process which won't use the same information as my Square Enix account, because having to hit the button just to post is irritating but disabling the token while still using the same login info can be a serious security risk. I say just use it for sign up verification/link the forum account and after that use separate password so that if the forum account becomes compromised my game account isn't.

But trolling has zero to do with the token, that is simply absurd.

I'm not sure why they made the forums smart phone compatible while making you use the key tolken. Why bother making it work with smart phones when no one will ever be able to log in with one away from home?

[Niakohr]

When I am at my home computer and have my security token, I play the game. When I am away from home, I check forums and do not have my security token.

I only logged in using the security token today to see if it was a one-time thing that you needed to register, but not to log back in. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Unless it is changed, this will likely be my one and only post on these forums.

P.S. Auriga, that is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard.

[kaht]

The troll <=> no-token correlation is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

As long as you're logging in with your S/E account and password, there is no question about who you are. You, and the character you play will be held accountable for any breach of conduct that you display on these forums. As was said above, the existence or non-existence of a token has 0% bearing on this fact.

Please, get rid of the token login requirement.

[bramble]

I too feel the security token for forum log-in is unnessecary and has no bearing on trolling what-so-ever! If people wanna troll, they' gonna troll, regardless of having a security token or not. I would also like the option to change user name as i stupidly got confused and thought this was the FFXIV forum >_> --my bad, i know but it would still be nice to use my XI character name, rather than my XIV character name.

@Auriga
I don't think you know what a troll is.
Because a token has nothing to do with it.
