    Is there a setting that I might change, to change up how difficult this site is to sign in to? My two examples are, that I cant get in on aicraft wifi because of some weird security issue, and, whenever I sign in from another computer, there's always some odd " Ut ohhhhh, you signed in from another ip address! Can you confirm it's you?"
    Can I change some setting to avoid these things that I have never seen before on any other website?
     
    @alexj-12 is who to reach out to
    But the short answer is no. This site has been plagued by bots and so the security layers will flag and send requests to re-sign in when it seems you’re logging in from different IPs is my understanding. I asked a similar question a while back
     
    Just accept the better security requirements as a necessary evil... I hope SH never decreases the good security they have because it's what is best for this user community.

    We Americans have been so spoiled with everything in life being designed for convenience and not security- it's why we as a culture have so many issues with identity theft, voter fraud, cyber hacking, stolen credit cards and checks, government benefits fraud, etc etc.
