They need to give players a way to opt out of this security measure.

So the player can complain that the sercurity sucks.. that all there info got hacked and possibly deleted? I really don't think so...

Well they're complaining anyway in case you hadn't noticed.

Better they complain about top notch security then a shitty one...

I had this happen to me once, I hadn't signed in elsewhere or using a different computer. It was months after I started playing and my IP changes every 36 hours, so I don't think it's related to either one or the other.

If it were strictly IP, I would have the problem more frequently, if it was strictly about using the same PC, I would never have it.

Lately, I got a second PC so me and my wife can play together, she uses the old one while I moved to the newer one. We didn't have any problems at first, but then my router renewed its IP lease (like an hour after we started playing together), we both got disconnected at the same time because of that, and when we went to log in again, she had to change her password (not me). Never happened since, and I juggle both PCs on a regular basis now, depending on whether she plays or not (the newer PC isn't as powerful, it's a budget machine we got so we could play together, totally not a powerhouse)

I'd guess that sort of thing will happen a little more often at first, and SE's system probably learns over time that you're behind a dynamic IP, or you occasionally use other PCs, and won't freak out unless something is really weird (like logging on a PC in Russia 5 minutes after logging out in the UK, there's no way in hell you could have gotten there that fast)

Like others have said, if that bothers you, you can get an authenticator, or wait for SE to release one for smartphones like Blizzard did. I got one with the Collector's edition but never bothered to use it.

They have, its called a Security Token.

Why would anyone want to disable a layer of security? Would you remove/disable your cars alarm just because it went off rarely for no reason?
