I am between two countries (France/Switzerland) everyday. i‘ve checked it again and it’s equal to that. Were you moving between countries prior the change as well? Ideally you would request a location update once you change the country to avoid being held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Request a location update twice a day to avoid being held is maybe too much? A "Off" button is the solution. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country is protected = off & locked = off. Nothing has changed between old login and new login system. Not sure how you are getting held. Are you held everytime you login or only once? Was it happening on old login ? You probably didn't notice since we had no message. -- Reminder about protect meaning: Country: PROTECTED = OFF, LOCKED = OFF Internet provider: PROTECTED = ON, LOCKED = OFF IP address: PROTECTED = ON, LOCKED = ON Edited April 16, 2019 by SLOom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a user logs in from a different country, they will automatically be held 5 days. Using a VPN will prove this. The old login page used to do this as well but like you said, it was less obvious as users had to attempt to transfer to tell. In Jedi's scenario, he moves between 2 different countries everyday so this option wouldn't be very ideal for him. I believe he is suggesting an off option so users can login anywhere in the world without this hold. This doesn't seem the most secure but if you still have to check your email to login, it may not be the worst thing. If other security options such as authentication were available, it'd also be more ideal for Jedi's scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right, if you had changed country prior the new web login, you would've been held as well. The security settings on login are related to E64 - which requires you to login by a link sent to the e-mail. So even if there was an OFF option, it wouldn't prevent you from being held if you change country. As Lemona said, you were likely held on the old web too, but you just didn't notice as the held info message wasn't showing. 5 hours ago, lemona said: I believe he is suggesting an off option so users can login anywhere in the world without this hold.

Advanced Members Jedi Posted April 17, 2019 Advanced Members Share Posted April 17, 2019 Thank you for your clarification @SLOom @LaFleur I was probably held with the old page too, I don't trade/transfer everyday, that's why I didn't notice. xat is the only website I know with those kind of protections. Even my bank doesn't block me for connecting from another country. Is it possible to add another option "No protection" or "Google Auth protection ONLY"? Without this option added, I will be most likely held forever . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very important and under represented point. I've never understood why xat feels the need to have so many hoops to jump through to manage your own account (email changes, home location update, list goes on) and have more security measures than I can count on one hand like our xat accounts are the most important possessions in the world when more professional, important websites (like banks) realise that it's not necessary and something like 2FA is enough. Account protection that cannot be turned off and makes you held and you can't do anything about it is not a useful security feature.

What I'm gonna say is very cliche, but unfortunately true. Without these protections, a lot more users would get scammed. Banks can take the risks because their other protections are better developed and they can easily reimburse their customers in case of a scam (something xat cannot afford). Nonetheless, bank transfers are capped (similar to xat reserve) and a scammer wouldn't be able to steal an entire account, while without the hold, you could be entirely scammed. Last but not least, even though you complain the same when it happens, you care less about your xat wallet than your bank wallet and take less precautions. My points are messy but I'll gladly be more detailed if necessary. Although I also think an off button would be completely appropriate, Jedi is not the only xat user who works in a side country. Ultimately, if one's afraid about security, this off button could be manually triggered by volunteers only after the user is verified and told this isn't a safe option. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this new one, we can't do it without refreshing the page. Can this be changed or added? Thanks for your valuable answer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
