OP is referring to what I presume is a bug. I'm on a static IP and had the same issue yesterday. Yup, the code they mail works, but it would be nice if it didn't happen in the first place.

You have a static Public IP?

The technology used in most 'token' systems derives from software developed by RSA, that was broken some years ago when RSA got hacked and internal documents and source code was stolen. Vast numbers of keys used to secure buildings had to be replaced.what about a standalone authenticator? similar to Square Enix security token?
I know full well how long finger-print systems have been used for security on laptops and other mass-market devices .. I was merely pointing out that the days when systems like that were largely tamper-proof have long gone as the S5's experience demonstrates.You obviously haven't read that Samsung's finger-print system was hacked in 4 days.

This was for a mobile phone... People have been using finger printing for ID purposes, even for access proposes.
So I've just logged on and been told that I wasn't authorised because I'm logging on using a new IP address and they've sent an authorisation code to my e-mail.
Now, on the one hand, the code worked fine and it wasn't much of a delay to log in. But on the other hand, I haven't changed my IP address, I'm using the same computer I always have in the same location, on the same network. So I'm a little concerned.
Would it not just be easier to secure accounts with an authenticator?

lol, I don't think origin could have anything to do with it, but then again, blaming origin is never a mistake!
@scruffycavetroll - Could Origin be downloading something? Might have been messing with your net because of an update to a game you have.
