Static ip locking

[Gundreda]

So the minute I can I'm going to ip lock my account.

It's static and has been the past 6 months since I moved home, but I am still worried that I will regret locking it at some point or another.

They're working on something so that players are able to unlock it, once the IP suddenly changes.

i would not iplock your account

it can only end badly

[Sayah]

My IP is static, however if my router was to turn off (power cut, explosion, dolphin invasion etc) it could be assigned to another device in the pool (some ISP's do this) and I wouldn't be able to login an RP boat master anymore. Sad times.

Maybe if we log in with a new IP (because most of us have dynamic IP), it will ask us what our old IP is...we enter it in and we're good to go. That would be a good enough process for me.

dolphin invasion

Those random dolphin invasions can really fuck your day up...

This could work but also a major flaw if someone figures out your password they would also know your ip in most cases. they log in on the website and get an unlock prompt, all it would take was that address and unlocked. I think a link such as the password reset link would do fine. And if you use dual authentication for your email your account should never get compromised.
