Temp suspension for pre-ordering a book from SE?

[Kuzulo]

I'm going to have to remember not to buy stuff, I guess; I'll also have another reason to remain subscribed to Wow.

It makes no sense to do this to a player, who is subscribed to the game.

Is the security "token" a goofy thing, like with Wow? I refuse to use that with Wow, since people have had trouble with it if a level of authorization is down (or if something is wrong with their phone, or what not.) Also - since we are now on the BFA expansion, while the only problem I ever had (from a probable web trojan, from wowhead or something) was during the Burning Crusade expansion (so eons ago, with Blizzard nearly instantly giving me back the account, as well as all items), it doesn't seem to have a point.

Yeah, I just read about the FFXIV one:

You need to write down an "emergency removal code", in case something goes wrong/you can't access your phone.
