    Someon has been attempting to log into my account all day.

    Luckily, I only get booted from the server thanks to the authentication error.
    However, this has happened twenty times today and it makes playing impossible, and I'm obviously more than a little nervous.

    Any solution to this?

    Nobody's trying to log into your account. It's some kind of server error.

    That's happening to everyone.

    Not sure what the exact error is, but I would try to get the one-time password app or the keychain thing. Makes it much more difficult for users to try and get into your account.

    sadly, with this game, it does jackall. It can be bypassed.

    Don't spread false info please. People are dumb enough for not using one (who can). Now we just need to promote the non use of the token.

    Actually, the authenticator can be bypassed. Someone pointed out a massive security flaw that bypasses the launcher and lets anyone log into any account and all they need is the session ID which is surprisingly easy to obtain. I have personally witnessed this and am shocked at such a security flaw.

    Apparently, they have fixed it to be IP-locked now? I don't know the specifics, but people have been reporting that when they log in from a different IP, their account gets locked until they confirm it through email etc. Similar to how things worked in 1.0. For people with dynamic IPs, maybe it will be a hassle, but I think it's a welcome change. I'm not sure how this will affect session IDs, but nonetheless, it will make logins from external areas a bit harder.
