Smackzor Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I've been waiting a while for them to send this email but they're not sending it, theres nothing in spam or anything. They put extra security on my account and it's so harsh not even I can't login If I can't login then who will?

Smackzor Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Fixed it, I had to create a new seperate email for it. I thought they meant I had to validate on my main email and not a new one completely. A bit confusing when they weren't clear on what they meant.

If you have a smartphone (or even an emulator on your PC), I would highly recommend attaching a security key to your account. For one thing, it can help to protect your account, and you also get 100 free cartel coins for it every month. It also prevents you from having to worry about validation. You just whip out your phone, open the app and enter the code it gives you. Viola, no email validation required. To attach a security key, all you have to do is log into your account at SWTOR.com (MY ACCOUNT), then click on the tab market Security Key and follow the instructions. It's pretty easy. Also, welcome to the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did mean exactly that, except that it didn't work *for*you*, but I'm glad you found a way to work around the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If you have a smartphone (or even an emulator on your PC), I would highly recommend attaching a security key to your account. Emulators aren't needed. Any TOTP authenticator will do the job: * OTP Auth (I use this for my second account) * Authy * Google Authenticator * WinAuth * SaasPASS * Lots of others * Heck, even the current SWTOR authenticator app. WinAuth, as its name suggests, runs on Windows - that is, it runs directly (without emulation) on your PC! But make sure when adding whatever you use to the account that you carefully select the option to add an app-based authenticator. The other option requires the old physical security keys that BioWare hasn't sold in years, and that if you get one in e.g. an old Collector's Edition set that you buy on Amazon or eBay, its batteries are probably close to dying.
