Express (trusted) login, can we have it?

[Kaes]

The reason you are able to login to Destiny without entering a username or password is because Destiny relies exclusively on console platform logins for user authentication and player identity, which is why the name shown above your Guardian is your name on PlayStation®Network or Xbox LIVE. Furthermore, there is no PC version of Destiny.

On the PlayStation console family, Final Fantasy XIV uses your PSN℠ login in addition to your Square Enix username, so it is possible to do a similar login method. However, a large number of FFXIV players are on PC, and unlike game consoles, PC clients are frequently infected with malware and there is no method to adequately secure saved credentials on a PC client.

Allowing faster login for players who are using a console does not benefit every player and could create bigger problems for Square Enix if such a system were to be misused.

I have also wanted a feature like this, but on second thought I can see how this would be tricky.

The only way I could see an express-login feature being implemented is via fingerprint authentication using a USB device or another unique characteristic. :P

Found the problem guys, we can go home now.

No, BTW. This is just lazy.

I say why not?

Before jumping all over me, why not look at another subscription mmo that has a token that allows this?

World of Warcraft has a token, and if you log on from the same location it may not ask you for your authenticator number. If you log on from a different location it does ask. If you are logging in from an internet cafe or a shared location that isn't on a personal computer it will always ask for your authenticator code.

Because people complain. They'd rather have people making a thread like this and keep things more relatively secure, than have to waste company time and resources because some dude's kid brother logged on and deleted all his coil gear.

It also took that same game years to get that far. Expect it to take a bit of time.

Let's not have WoW's security system...My account was hacked at least three times when I played it and I never shared my information. I heard of hacked accounts more commonly then I do on FF14 :/

This sorta defeats the purpose of 2 step authentication. Someone just needs your password and your ip address and they can spoof their way into your account.

Ok I think this thread needs to be locked lol, fact is it takes less than 10 seconds to login using your Token and also the comfort of knowing your account is secure in doing so :P
