Security Token shouldn't be required to sign in

[Cream_Soda]

I don't think the security token should be required to access the forums. I use forums not only at home, but also when I take my laptop out. I like to leave my token at home so that I don't misplace it.

I don't like the idea of having to carry it around w/ me everywhere just to access the forums.

Turning the token off for the forums should at least be an option.

You can access the forums, you just can't post. Take away the token log in and I'll bet 100 dollars people are way more likely to troll which I'm sure is a goal for SE here, to prevent that.

Please, tell me the relation of holding a token in your pocket and bringing it with you is less likely to make you troll.

@ Cream_Soda - owning a token doesn't reduce the chances of you BEING a troll,
though the setup relating to it's use on this forum certainly decreases the "risk" imo.

[Cream_Soda]

That makes no sense.

"I don't have to type in my one time password, so I guess I'll troll"

It makes perfect sense, i hereby vote against your idea to remove token use for login.

As do I.

The Security Token is really the only thing separating you from a hacked account -- in-game and on the forums.

Even then, it might not do it all the time, but we all know that there are people out there who will gladly take what they feel is theirs (read: everything).

People w/o tokens don't need to use them though, they just need their SE info. No reason for people who use them in game to have to use them for forums.

@ Cream_Soda - The system for which SE accounts were created was to enhance
the users login security an all, the forum is built around that. No matter how much
you disagree no one shares any love for the "troll" and as such it won't be tolerated.

Infact any measure that works against a troll is likely to be kept, I'm sure the tokens
use here isn't solely for this purpose but it has my vote if it keeps them away.

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.
