    The code is emailed to you.. it's fairly self explanatory.

    Also i would change the title of your forum thread. There is a rule against misleading or incomplete thread titles.

    Your thread title is too vague.

    He probably got the email 5 seconds after making this thread and now he's not even checking anymore.

    On a side note to this. It's now keeping the account logged in on the launcher. is there a patch notes that explains this? (note i am currently searching these forums to find the inf out myself but feel free to point me in the right direction)

    What exactly do you mean, it keeps the account logged in on the launcher? Do you launch from the Arc launcher or Steam? That's what it's supposed to do.

    If you launch from the .exe then you do usually need to put in your details.

    Also, vague thread titles, as has been said, are against forum rules. If you don't change it, your thread will either be closed or a mod will change title for you.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Please use complete titles in the future.

    The two step authentication is an additional security measure that sometimes emails you a code needed to log in. While annoying at times it adds an extra layer of security to things. Check your email for the code. If you don't see it right away check your spam folder and/or request a new code be sent to you.

    Well I'd like some info on this two factor junk, I'm STILL waiting for my 5 digit code and its been a good 30 mins since I've been trying to get into the game. This is the first time I've had this pop up. If this is a new normal I aint gonna like it much at all.

    Yeah, occasionally I get that when I 'time out' on the browser (after many months) and I have to sign in again. It is so smart that to it I always look like I'm signing in from a new whatever, even though it is the same as before. I usually never get it for the game itself.
