SQEX TOKEN should replicate Google 2-step encyption.

It could be implemented using IP, so while your modem doesn't reset or if you're using a static IP you won't require to input the code again.

True and to be fair that is how Guild Wars 2 does it. I have to wonder how many people forget they have a security token added (and lose/change their phone etc) if they use it so infrequently.

The launcher uses an internet explorer frame, so they can probably its cookies.

Yes that's true, I didn't think of that. I had a look and sure enough there's a cookie for ffxiv-login.square-enix.com.

Is not like that, your modem will reset itself every week or so, so you would have to input the code on a weekly basis.

Only if you get a new IP when that happens. I have a static IP with my current provider and forgot that I even had an authenticator on GW2 until this topic came up. I've only had my GW2 account for a year, but in that time I've never had to use the authenticator. If I login somewhere else (or change provider), I'll have a new IP and will need the authenticator, which luckily I still have setup, but my point was that I wondered how many people have static IPs (or virtually static) and forget they have an authenticator on their account so when they come to use it, they're out of luck if since change phone/forgot about it etc.

I have dynamic IP, but I've had the same IP for over a year now. It all depends on how your ISP does it, and how stable your router is.
