It just freaking happened again. I tried to log in and got told that my account has suspicious activity and to reset my password. I am getting freaking tired of this. I reset my password and gave it 16 characters. Am I gonna have to reset my password again in 4 days?

It usually switches when you're routing through a different IP address from one login to another...I like it kinda thwarts hackers tbh or helps tone it down

12-28-2014, 06:02 AMLegendzeroxSo everytime I rotate my DNS and obtain new ips this is gonna happen? I am not a fan of this. If there is a reason I will cancel my subscription, this is it. If that is the case, I will be forced to reset my password every 4 days and I will not do that shit.Quote:

So now I gotta create a new 16 character string password cause retards on the internet need their hands held because they don't know shit about security. Great.

I got a software token.

12-28-2014, 06:13 PMSkyl1n3I know how it works but wouldn't the obvious solution be to just leave the modem on 24/7? An average modem like a Virgin Media SuperHub for example draws 13W at max which, in the UK at least, equates to about £20 a year... hardly breaking the bank if it is mostly about energy costs that's the issue in this thread.Quote:

Did you log back into your account and take down the reset password? It will save you time if you have to uninstall the software token app, you can use the automated system to remove and then put back on the token instead of having to talk to customer service.Quote:

If you have to restart your modem/lose connection your modem doesn't have a choice but to possibly switch DNS. -
12-29-2014, 01:18 AMSkyl1n3Must be a pretty crappy ISP then, my IP only changes when there's a power trip or if someone turns it off and it has to re-connect, apart from that it stays constantly on the same address for as long as it's on.Quote:
