Every single kitten time I want to log into the forum or the game I get another SMS authentication request.

Anet forced this garbage on me, now how can I get rid of it?

Cheers.

How was it forced on you? Every once in a while when I log into the game I get a little pop up that asks me to register sms, I decline and keep moving. I’d rather not get that pop up every few logins but its just one extra click to say no to it.

Just tell GW2 to remember your ip-address and after a while (when ANet knows your ip range) the authentication requests will stop.

I too wish there was a way to permanently decline SMS. Even if there was a chance my stupid ATT Go Phone would receive the messages I certainly don’t want to have to get up and get it whenever my IP address changes. I always have access to my email and that works just fine.

I don’t even remember when I had to use the authenticator last time. My IP changes every 4-7 days.

Mine changes every 24 hours, but even ever changing addresses stay within a certain ip-range. I had to enter the authenticator code about 6 times at the beginning, always telling GW2 to remember my ip. Now I didn’t have to enter any code for almost a year.

I’ll take a look, cheers!

I don’t know why but I have logged in multiple times daily on occasion on both forum and game and always get asked for an authentication. Its driving me nuts.
