I get this all the time when I reset my router. Nothing to be concerned about. Just change your password like instructed through your e-mail and it'll be activated again.

FFXIV does this when it thinks a different client is trying to sign into your account.

^ , I think this massage is related to the Service provider's DNS keeping on changing. I usually connect through tunneling using the same server to avoid this problem, anyways as tarunaeon said after i got the secure ID it disappeared :)

It's a nice security measure that eventually gets annoying. It's also Se's way of making an extra $10.

I'm glad I got the CE with the security token.
I've known quite a few people who had this problem but I've never actually seen it myself.

It isn't a problem at all. when you try to log on from a different IP than usual, you'll need to access your e-mail account the unblock the account :) just to confirm who is accessing your account from other PC is yourself... it's very safe.

Not like Artemys said about SE being profitable... it's really safer.

I got locked out of my account the other day when I reset my router and tried to login strait away.

Its nice that they give you a added layer of protection
