password security driving me nuts...

[Raist]

If you logged in one day and found your character passed out in some remote location completey stripped of all items/gil and left for dead, you might appreciate this security feature.

I'm sure there are many other older XI players that can relate.

It is for your protection. Get a security token or link the free smartphone app, assign your free teleport to benefit you the most...win-win.

If you're on PC, you can use the app there with BlueStacks. I've never had a problem with it.

If you're on PC, you can use the app there with BlueStacks. I've never had a problem with it.

If, like me, you don't like bluestacks (because it runs as a TSR and eats resources like candy, on top of the "pay us $3/mo or install a new sponsored app every day"), it also works quite well in Windroy (http://www.windroye.com/index_eng.html - download Windroy, not Windroye - both should work, but Windroye gains compatibility in exchange for extra resource consumption). The only problems with windroy are:

1. it requires you to set a resolution in an environment variable or it runs fullscreen (WINDROY_RESOLUTION=480x720 is what I use - you can set it up in System Properties in Control Panel),
2. when running in portrait (vertical) mode there's no "system menu", and thus no "menu button", so the only way to disassociate your app is with the recovery password, and
3. it has a non-disablable debug console window.

On the bright side, when you close Windroy, it's closed, not running in the background like Bluestacks does. It also doesn't hog system resources like Genymotion (and its manual equavelent, VirtualBox) does even if you do leave it running, tho I don't recommend doing so (I've had the graphics layer crash with long use, and then manually closing windroy causes about a dozen errors to pop up in quick succession).
