suspicious login activity???
I got this message after I tried to log back in. I don't have any emails from them and I was just online a few minutes ago. What does this mean??? The explanation there is pretty clear. SE thinks your account is/was at risk of maybe being hacked or something. I got it the other day trying to login into XIV for the first time.
Go to the website it refers you to and reset your password. I've received it as well as my wife. I believe it's one of two things:
1. SE's way of forcing people to change login password if the've not done so for a while (I had the same one for three years) or 2. With more accounts through SE due to FFXIV there's problems with people being hacked because, let's face it, Sony (PS3/4) hasn't been the most trusted with keeping their customer's information secured. Just my guesses, but there's probably another reason. Either way, choose a new login password and be done with it. my new one has lasted me six months so far. ok, now it's asking me for my one-time password. I don't have one of those anymore. How do I bypass that step? Any suggestions?

You will have to call SE and have them un-attach it from your account. I had to do that when I lost mine moving. Thanks Melb, I was afraid of that. Guess I'll be calling them on Monday then.
Only way to remove a one time password is during commercial time access the support site and request to receive support via chat. They have a special link you click to perform a request related to lost or broken one time password device.
They will ask you some personal information about you (usual personal information like name, address, etc) and the account information (usually they ask you to type one of the disk keys you used to register the game so have the game manual handy) before disabling your one time password device. Just for fun and reference, this is a great site to test potential passwords on. Of course, never enter your real password in anything that you aren't sure about. Most passwords are stolen by keylogging, but it's pretty interesting to see the computer's calculated time until your password can be cracked by going through all the possible combinations.
How secure is my password?

How secure is my password? Kinda nifty, according to this link, it'll take a desktop pc about 6-years to crack me lolz @The OP may be a good idea to run a security check on your system and use the virtual keyboard until you're sure you don't have a keylogger.
I also recommend the online chat over a phone call (seriously, what is it? 1992?) but do it on a clean computer.

I've also been getting blue screens lately, like 3 in the last 2 weeks. I think the laptop needs a complete overhaul :(

This made me lol.
Quote: Show Settings It would take a desktop PC about 23 decillion years to crack your password [Tweet Result] Show Details Better get started guys! To remove your one-time password:
Birthday: Name: Address: All it takes to remove it, just gotta hope you didn't use a fake birthday as I did. Apparently there is an emergency removal password but you have to be logged-in to access it, so you should have written it down. Again, something I didn't do.

Since he was in US and my account is EU SE made me reset my password every 3 months or something.
