Topic: Huge warning for localbitcoins.com! - page 2. (Read 2093 times)
I dont think so that this kind of problem is serious though they would surely require authorization when you logged in to a different browser or IP. They would surely implement that security and thats a good thing on a certain service because you could really say that its safe unless if you give your email to someone. If it didnt arrive then request a new one. This problem is just normal that email do have delay to arrive. Its on servers or websites side.
Why this kind of service don't project your secure?
If you have access to your e-mail and can't login without authorize, why isn't safe? Imagine to someone that don't have your e-mail hacked...
Btw it's probably an delay on system that will be fixed soon, I already saw the same with blockchain.info.

Warning for localbitcoins.com right now!
What is happening to me can happen to you as well!
They implemented some stupid new function called Login Guard. I never opted in for it, they just turned it on without asking me what I wanted.
I can login to my account as usual, but then I run into this block:
But the problem is that the e-mails didn´t arrive in my e-mail. Of course I have checked junk mail folder as well. The e-mail provider is countermail.com
Support is not very helpful, they asked me a ton of questions about my account and finally they wanted to confirm a SMS sent to an old phone I no longer have. What, people don´t switch phones any more?
Now, couple of days later, totally erratically it worked again and I could receive the login guard email. Must have lost 20 e-mails before this e-mail arriving. It took me several days and hours of trying to solve the problem through support, and they were not very helpful, actually they closed my last ticket, very impolite.
Impossible to remove the old phone number without confirming an SMS they sent out. They sent out the confirmation SMS to that old phone that I´ve lost long time ago and to remove the phone number I need to confirm a SMS sent to the same number I wanna remove, it´s ridiculous hope they read this and realize their system has become really clonky and defeats its purpose.
Trying to change my e-mail now to another e-mail, yes it worked...
So I recommend you to turn off their stupid login guard that does NOT help you "protect" your account, it will only create problems. Account security, login guard, disable!
