Authorization for my second PC.

I need permanent authorization for an additional PC. Currently, I get a prompt for an email verification code on every log in. I have two PC's, one in my home office and one in my bedroom. I enjoy playing TESO on both, and would like the transition between them to be a little smoother.

I understand it's a security measure, but for me it's a very inconvenient chore that must be carried out daily. I've used the Trusted Machine and Untrusted Machine options, both will require a code on log in after playing on the previous machine.

Is there a workaround for this step, or will I have to endure this hassle for the duration of my time with TESO?

    The authorisation is not for the PC but the IP address.
    If your ISP assigns you a different IP on a regular or irregular basis you will be getting this quite often.
    I play on 3 different PCs but only got the authorization once per machine.
    You might want to check with your ISP about getting a static IP address to stop this from happening.

    Thank you for the reply. Although I should have clarified, I only get the prompt after I switch PCs. I can log in on the same computer (doesn't matter which one) a dozen times consecutively and never receive the prompt. However, as soon as I swap, and log in from a different computer I have to "authorize". It's as if I'm only allowed one verified I.P. on my account.
