    I was thinking on use the phone app. But I only read bad things. For example, you account can be blocked if you change your IP. I have dynamic IP, so my security token won't work every time I change IP (like rebooting router for example). I appreciate the extra security, but this should work in another way. People can lost their code or have problems with ISP and that. The system still not think in that. I am not using it, despite I want, because I don't want to get my account block for one of this causes.

    I think you have that backwards. If you *don't* have the security token (or software token), then the game may consider a changing IP address as suspicious, so might block your account until you change your password. But if you do have one, it accepts that as validation that you are who you say you are, so it won't care about a changing IP.

    That with blocking the account if you change your IP is if you don't use the security pin. It get unlocked again with changing the pasword.
