Getting real tired of resetting my password

[Legendzerox]

It just freaking happened again. I tried to log in and got told that my account has suspicious activity and to reset my password. I am getting freaking tired of this. I reset my password and gave it 16 characters. Am I gonna have to reset my password again in 4 days?

It usually switches when you're routing through a different IP address from one login to another...I like it kinda thwarts hackers tbh or helps tone it down

So everytime I rotate my DNS and obtain new ips this is gonna happen? I am not a fan of this. If there is a reason I will cancel my subscription, this is it. If that is the case, I will be forced to reset my password every 4 days and I will not do that shit.

This is easily fixed if you get a security token for your account.

So now I gotta create a new 16 character string password cause retards on the internet need their hands held because they don't know shit about security. Great.

Why would you be doing this? Just out of curiosity.

Because there is no choice unless you pay extra to have a static IP address. It's how consumer internet works. Every time you restart your modem/modem refreshes the DNS cache it reconnects and not necessarily to the same DNS.

OP just get a software token and keep the reset password in a secure spot.

I know how it works but wouldn't the obvious solution be to just leave the modem on 24/7? An average modem like a Virgin Media SuperHub for example draws 13W at max which, in the UK at least, equates to about £20 a year... hardly breaking the bank if it is mostly about energy costs that's the issue in this thread.

Doing this has solved so many login resets its ridiculous. Nice thing is you can set a free destination in-game for teleports. Did you log back into your account and take down the reset password? It will save you time if you have to uninstall the software token app, you can use the automated system to remove and then put back on the token instead of having to talk to customer service.

Has nothing to do with consumption. You leave the modem on... the DNS cycles when the ISP wants it to, it happens without warning usually early in the morning "when no one is awake" and takes only a few seconds. Usually happens if a DNS has to be maintenanced or taken offline for whatever reason. No one has a choice. If you have to restart your modem/lose connection your modem doesn't have a choice but to possibly switch DNS.
