It is a sad time for NW. Just like the challenge, we literally crashed their server.
The thing is Account Guard won't be getting such a large load after launch. This is a one time authentication unless you log on from a different computer.
Yes, Account Guard obviously got backlogged HARD but the stress on Account Guard will never be as high as it was today except, possibly, on the open Beta/Launch day.
The main game servers are designed to sustain a much larger load for a much longer period of time.
I understand the frustration and trust me nobody at Cryptic is thrilled about the backlog and a few other errors but this incident is truly temporary.

Yes you should be able to request another one to be sent either on that screen or by closing the client down and going back in.
