I’ve now had four friend get hacked. Paranoid, I signed up for the two step verification, went to my account and activated it, etc etc.

I thought every time I logged in it would ask for my authentication #, but it isnt.; Strange thing is, I saw it mention an email address that I wasn’t using in the authenticator after scanning the qcode.

I’m confused.

And I need to make sure that its working properly.

I like the feedback that you’ve received in this thread. The reason that we “white list” IPs, is that we believe strongly in two-factor auth, but we don’t want to inconvenience you many, many times by asking repeatedly for you to approve your home IP.

As suggested, if you prefer to authorize, you can! Simply do not click (or uncheck) the “remember this network” box and you will be asked for authentication authorization more often.
