In general the idea of the login authorization system is not bad, however I am using DSL with dynamic IP meaning I recieve a new IP adress daily. This of course also means i cannot use ‘authorize this network’ since i would have to remove IP adresses from previous days manually.
To better illustrate the problem: i have recieved about 110 (one hundred an ten!) emails to autorize login since launch so far, basically for every time I open the client. This is extremely annoying.
On another note, on a few occasions I did not get a login request mail for an entire day or two, even though the system should send one on every single login attempt.
I do not have a mobile phone, using the mobile authenticator is not an option.Suggestion:
a) allow disabling of the authentication (unsafe)
b) use a different identifier than the global IP, e.g. netword adapter MAC adress or some other hardware related metric, to identify a user
Hello.
I have the same problem!!!
I really TIRED to open email each time and to confirm my dynamic IP.
Could you please turn this option off!
Thanks in advance.
