Security Token For Forum Sign In is Dumb!

[Nadeu]

Kwisatz_Haderach,

We’re sorry that you are finding our login process unsatisfactory, however it was implemented for the security of all accounts, and for the well-being of the forums. By making the requirement to posting on the FINAL FANTASY XIV Forums be that you’re actually playing FINAL FANTASY XIV, we ensure that the discussions remain focused on that topic, and not sidetracked by those with no real interest in our game, or a more malicious interest.

As for whether or not posting on the forums will trigger the new security measures that have been put into place on SQUARE ENIX Accounts, please keep in mind that SQUARE ENIX Accounts that use a security token will never have their logins restricted.

That's good to know. So posting from a different computer while using an account that does not have a security token could get your account locked?

This makes sense, since the only people I've heard of having their logins restricted were those who didn't have security tokens.

Is there many ppl that had trouble with the security token? I don't want to use it because i had one and my wife had one. After 2 month using it my wife token broke, We never took it anywhere, it was in a bowl beside the computer screen so it was not hit or dropped or anything that could justify why it broke so fast... then mine also broken after 4 month... they were still showing a # but the account would not recognize it. I called SE and had to wait for almost an hour before i got answer then they deactivated it and said they would call me when they know what happened. And now a year or more later i still never heard of them
