    This is a security feature. Some games have less secure sign ins that allow a longer time between having to put in your one time pw this one does not. If it bothers you that much just remove it from your account.

    Please read my response to the exact same comment made earlier and then read Stillwaters's response. Other companies are using this exact same security feature except with better implementation. There isn't any reason to have it locked down in a restrictive manner when other companies who do the same thing are just as secure even with the bypass feature.

    No... they're using a similar implementation, but with weaker security that they probably consider acceptable for their product.

    If you have any sort of bypass feature, it's not as secure.

    OTP literally stands for One Time Password. It's only supposed to work... ONE TIME.

    Please don't try and lower the security of our accounts because you don't like how it works. As others have said you can always disable it if it bothers you that much.

    Oh yes, the incredibly successful company, Blizzard, that has a 12 year old MMO much more successful than this one has terrible security. /rolls eyes

    Their security is so much better that they've created an authentication system that doesn't require you to type it in EVERY single time you log out - from the same IP, within 3 minutes of you last entering it. In fact, they have one tap authentication for the mobile app, where it shows both the number and a button that you can press to be let into your account when the client asks for authentication. Stop condescending people when you don't even do your research!
