Safe computer for security token

[Andrewzz]

Hello SE,

I don't know if this is the right place to make a request, or kind of request, but I have a suggestion that I would like to have added to the Launcher.

Would it be possible to mark a computer as safe? So that I wouldn't need to put the token everytime I want to login to the game from my own computer? That way it would just ask for it when trying to connect from an unknown device, maybe by IP or something like that.


Regards.

No. it isn't and shouldn't be possible. You should use the token all the time or never. You don't need to have viruses or be using an unfamiliar device for your account to be compromised.

The token is an extra layer of security for your account, but you shouldn't be obliged to use it every time you want to login from your own computer. This is not the only service using security tokens or two factor authentications, and almost all of them have a "remember this computer" option.

Only game that I can think of that I played that allows you to mark a safe computer was GuildWars 2 if you had it linked to your google account for verification.
