    So, I've got a laptop and a desktop, and I wanna play FF14 on both, but...

    Its makin me reset my password whenever I try to login via the laptop. Is there any way to make this a less painful process, so I can just login with my two machines without it thinking someones stealing my account?

    It makes you reset your password because it's unsure as to the security of the 'new' login you perform when you use the laptop or PC after eachother. You can avoid this altogether if you get a security token, such as the physical token or smartphone app. If you don't want the 'hassle' of a one-time password then you're going to just have to live with reseting your password whenever you change computer.

    Append: Beaten to the punch. XD

    Add a one time password to your account.

    Is your laptop on wireless? It sounds like your IP address changes, which causes the system to see the login as a potential threat.
    Go to your settings and give your laptop a static IP. You should be asked the next time you use it but then no more.

    Here is some help
    if you are not sure how to do it

    Chessala has it right. You don't need a security token or anything like that. I play on both desktop and laptop as well.

    Except a one-time password is far more secure and gets you a free teleport location.

    Why would you not use one?

    While yes, you DON'T need one, it's completely safe to get it.
    You have the security of your account being safe, free teleport, and you can login ANYWHERE!
