I think that message also popped up around mid-November to December for myself when we had to decide on a subscription policy.

Same security token fixed it for me also. Had it since launch but didn't start using til recently but no issue since.

Totally unrelated, but, OP: Your sig is awesome. Carry on.
This is a normal issue, I change my password 1-2 times per day because that message. It happends when your IP change.

I have had this issue arise only once, when I contacted SE tech support they suggested I request a fixed address from my isp. As this has not happened since then I haven't bothered, but it might be worth trying.
Request your isp gives you a static IP or use a security token, I have played on 5 different connections and have never seen this because I use a security token.
ISPs will generally not do this for residential connections, because having a static IP lets you more reliably run a business server, which they want you to pay more for having. Instead you get a "dynamic IP", which will allocate you an IP address from a pool of potential IPs allocated to your ISP (often you can get the same one after a powercycle, but not always). So don't get too excited about finding a solution with your ISP.
But yes, I'm not sure about the exact mechanics of it, but the security flag happened to me a lot when I was using a 3G wireless internet stick for my connection. Every time I turned it on, I got a fresh and substantially different IP address. Since I've had my "always on" connection set up, I don't have the security flag going up any more.
Which gives me a thought...
Check your modem settings - make sure your connection is set to "always on" rather than allowing an inactivity-based time out to occur. It's one thing that could be causing more frequent IP-resets.
That's right and even though I don't believe such billing terms still exist, only do that if you are NOT billed per minute.
