New Item Trading Password (PC-Only)

[Z-0]

http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=2094

In effect after the September 4th Maintenance. If your account is not protected by by a One-Time Password, you will need to input a separate "Trading Password" before using any functions such as:

- Item Trade
- My Shop
- Present Boxes or any trade related room goods (eg: Shop Counter)

You need to only enter it once per login, from what I understand.

What a pain in the ass. I really don't wanna bother with that OTP crap.

I don't understand the point of this. Were there issues with these features ?

Is this to prevent stolen accounts from being stripped of all items ?

[Hrith]

Once per login does not sound that bad, since we do not need to log out to change characters anymore.

It depends what they deem a login. Switching chars could very well be logging in again according to SEGA, meaning that you'll have to enter the password on character changes.

Exactly that.

Also, switching characters is counted as logging out, according to the link.

Oh boy, this is going to be obnoxious.

I hope this pass does not reset itself each time.

It would be really great if SEGA stopped attempting to idiot proof our accounts for us when its our own damned responsibility. I mean I'm sorry, but as long as they've got proper account recovery mechanics in place, it shouldn't be possible for people to steal our accounts unless we've been very stupid. More often than not, I find that the ones responsible for letting someone get "hacked" were the company itself not following protocol which is incredibly obnoxious.
