It always keeps asking me for my defender code when I try to log into the forums.Does this happen all the time or what?

    I do practically all my Forum reading and posting from my Android phone. I always leave the browser running. If I shut it down the 'Defender' believes I am coming from a new location when I fire it back up and I have to enter a new code. Man I sleep better at night thanks to its diligence. ;)

    You are actually better off, using the actual Arc client to access the forum, as using an actual IE will typically ask for the code unless turned off!

    you can turn off arc defender if its really bugging you.

    When I think about everything we've been through together,

    maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,

     and if that journey takes a little longer,

    so we can do something we all believe in,

     I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.

    It's been happening more recently, in the past 2 months. It's a minor thing, but keeps your account secure. It's mainly triggered when your browser is updated, especially more so with Win 10 browsers.

    It is not bugging me I would rather log in without going to my e mail address.I would use a different pw for logging into the forums.Like most game forums do.

    arc defender being really zealous, is one of the reasons i use the sub-reddit forums more than here, can't use a forum that i can't get into easily, especially when the first code i am sent is rejected.

    The Arc defender hasn't given me any issues ever and I'm on Win10.

    It was asking for codes from everything I tried to do. Not a joke. Login to the game, asks for code, login to forums, asks for code. So I just uninstalled the bloat program and went to steam. No problems since. :)

    so basically the same as disabling arc defender as I suggested in the first place.

    that doesn't make sense. Did it do it more than once? Once is normal, but it should only ask once.

    also... steam is bloatware. :p

    I've disabled Arc Defender and it STILL wants a One Time Code. My problem was a system crash and a reinstall. And I've used the save password feature in my browser for so long that I forgot it and now cannot access the email account that is registered with Arc/Cryptic. Now what? :D

    Not sure why people bother using ARC. Tried it and just found it annoying. Steam just lets me log in without any problems.
