[Square Enix Account] Notification regarding Login Restriction

[Majidah]

The only reason I am osting this here instead of contacting SE about it is because I have had an unusal amount of these sent to me from the first day I installed FFXIV.

Every damn time I have to reset my password. WHY? Since the FIRST day i began playing. What is this "unusual activity" you have detected??? Because I can guarentee no one has access ot my account and nothing "suspicious" or "unusual" has happened to it OTHER THAN YOUR MESSAGES.

Has this happenedto anyone else?

Thank you.

Because it's a cheap piece of crap, it just stopped changing numbers and I could no longer log in.

Weird. Did it run out of batteries? I keep mine on my desk tied to the base of my thingy so it doesn't get damaged or anything. I just press the button, get the number, press again to turn off.

So far no problems!

I bought the CE but I didn't realize a security token came with it for this purpose.

I'll look into it asap. But there is no way in hell I am buying a digital device for 10 dollars when I can just reset my password for free...

This goes ontop of your password and prevents the issue you're having. It's mostly an anti-hack measure.

The point of the token is to add a level of security that can't be broken over the internet, because its in your hands.

If you have spyware on your PC changing the password will lead to the same problem as said spyware can send the new password to the same person, but because the security token is generated in real time the data sent won't be valid.

I would suggest getting a token if you don't have one already, as others said it should be in the CE box, I just hope for your sake they didn't sell all your items and take your money.

I've been using my token since FF11 and its still working.
