    Unable to access from 2 different computers in the same house :(

    Hey guys, been a long time. :P



    Just got D3 yesterday, installed it on the laptop and played...
    I then installed it on my PC and tried logging in, but it locked my account and said it detected suspicious activity.

    Will this happen everytime I try logging in from different computers?
    Is there any way I can disable this security feature?

    Also, I planned on playing D3 when I'm on vacation with the laptop... Since the IP address changed will the account be locked again?


    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not exactly sure what are the requirements that trigger the account locking but from what I've heard from friends, they were locked every time they went playing at a friend's house (different IP). I have installed D3 on my desktop PC and my laptop (same house, going to the same router) and I never got locked. But yea if you go on vacation chances are your account will be locked again, and as far as I can tell there is no way to disable that "security feature".

    I went on vacation for the 4th and was able to log on w/ my laptop with no issues, and usually I play on the desktop at home. I do have the authenticator, and I believe it did ask me, so that might help convince it the log in is legit. The logins were also several days apart.

    I play all over the country. I play at home here in Chicago, I play at my main office in Florida, I play in hotels in Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, etc and each time when I try to play from a different location I have to plug in an authenticator number. I think that "beats" the suspicious activity monitor.

    Get an authenticator for your phone and see if it stops locking you up.

    Two of us here playing on different computers but I do also access the other account on my pc sometimes but neither of us have been locked out. But as Dacar says that's maybe the authenticator helping.
