    So the 1 time password

    The email takes about 2 hours, sometimes 3 to reach my mailbox. How the hell am I suppose to use my laptop in a new place to play space missions or a pvp match if I have to wait 3 hours to log in. I will have already gone on to do something else by then. Ugh. Can't even post this on the forums now because they need a 1 time password for that. Worst safeguard ever.

    When I got that email from logging into SWTOR's site at work, it came pretty quick (maybe a couple of minutes). Do you think it might be getting caught up in a spam system?

    Nah, it makes it to my inbox. It just takes hours.

    "Hate dealing with our crappy one time password system? Buy our authenticator."

    Just wondering, is this email a gmail account or something attached to your work or isp?

    Nope. Yahoo.

    My gmail account is for 3rd gen mmos.

    I tried to log in around 9:10 on my laptop this morning... Just got the email 14 minutes ago. 4 hours.

    Nice and expired by the time that password got to you, no doubt. I'd use a gmail account just to see if you'd get it faster. Though, if you're subbed for the month for Hutts...could you use the mobile authenticator for the time being (assuming it's still around)?

    I do agree with you that it's extremely annoying. But it does takes like 10-20 secs for it to arrive, not hours. If it would be more than a minute I'd quit in an instant.

    I don't think you understand... I tried this over several days. I timed it.

    If I am unable to receive the one-time passwords, how can I go about changing the email account associated with my SWTOR account.

    Try adding no-reply@bioware.swtor.com to your address book and untick "Enable conversations" in Settings > Viewing mail, Yahoo's newest screw up from idiotic devs.
