Dynamic IP Address causing ID problems 2 years 9 months ago #84832

Security is becoming a wasps nest of contradictions.
I was advised to protect my identity to use a dynamiuc IP address, that changes frequently.
After I have set that up, now I am getting complaints from various security 'agents' including FreeToastHost, whenever I log in, that I am logging in from an unknown device (at an unknown IP address). e.g.
"It may be that you just logged in from a new or different device, location, or IP address. If that is the case, please ..."
"Regards, The FreeToastHost Website Support Team"
Of course the IP address is never the same, but the device is.
How can I deal with this?
Do I have to give up my identity for the security of my logins?

Brian, which profile?

1) I just checked the FTH profile, but I don't see email settings there.
If you are referring to the Club website, please tell me where to find the Profile Settings there, because I don't see any there either.
2) I have similar complaints from other websites. Do I have to do this for all memebrs profiles?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of device identification?

Regards,

W
