Endless loop of "This computer is not authorized. Enter access code"

Marcus684

I finally experienced the infuriating problem of the game deciding that your IP address has changed and forcing you to enter an access code while logging in, only to tell you the code they just sent you was invalid. After at least 10 fruitless attempts to rectify this, I found the problem myself. I had logged out of the game, plugged a flash drive into my PC to help someone figure out an issue with their computer, then tried to log back into the game with the flash drive still plugged in. Once I noticed this and removed the flash drive, I was able to log back into the game with no problems.

While this doesn't explain why ZOS is sending codes that don't work to us to try to secure our accounts, hopefully this will help someone else avoid this frustration.
