I recently enabled the email 2FA and I checked the box 'Don't ask for codes again on this computer.' However, It requires the verification EVERY time I log in or change accounts. I will have to disable it. Any suggestions?

I have the same thing happening. I'm with you - will be forced to disable two factor authentication if that check-box does nothing.

I noticed that the launcher started to ask for a character on the account a few days ago. This is something the forum already does for a long time. It has to do with dynamically assigned IP address by my ISP. Maybe the 2FA is using the same technique to determine the "same machine" (=same IP as with previous login, otherwise machine is a "different one").

If that's the case, CCP's implementation of "Remember me/this machine" will never work in countries like Germany, where almost all DSL users have a new IP address assigned to them by the ISP ~ every 24h.

Yeah, having it too and it's pretty annoying.

Changing IP every 24h is standard protocol for every ISP that gives xDSL to customers with non-static IP's (at least in E.U.). A.k.a it's same in my country too.
