    Disabling a security token and unlinking a SEI account.

    A few hours ago I disabled my security token, I then unlinked my SEI account and closed it.
    I am now unable to get into my account.

    I can't be the only person who only wanted the token for the mog space, but i've yet to see a thread about this issue, so hopefully someone can help me with an error I have made in the process of unsecuring my account.

    I submitted an email to SE about my issue but i'm sure that will take a week to be responded to.

    I posted in advanced as this is the section where the token activation guideline was stickied.


    Thanks in advance for the replies.

    I remember it being said that when you close your SEI account it would also close your POL account. You said you unlinked it, but I don't know if this will stop it from closing your POL account as well. Some time may have needed to pass or you can' truely unlink it, I don't know.

    I believe your only option is to call POL/SE's support when they're open.

    Yes. I destroyed my SE Account and I had to have someone in customer Support reactivate it. Currently I would wait until SE announces some way to "unlink" the account before destroying it :D

    You cannot ever unlink your SE ID from your POL ID. They tell you during the linking process that it is permanent. You closed your SE ID, not unlinked it, and by closing it you closed all linked IDs. The topic on this is the stickied guide to using an SE ID and token on this very subforum. There's four key points to an SE ID, which SE tells you in the FAQ for the ID, and you are also warned about when linking the IDs and the token. I covered them in one of the last posts in that thread.

    Once you have an SE ID, you are using that password until the end of time. You cannot get rid of the requirement of typing it in at every login. The ID is intended to be used inc onjunction with a token to increase account security, so having a password you always have to type that is paired with one that is always different gives security.

    Well, as the information SE provided us about the SE Account and you had to confirm as having read states, if you colse your SE Account, you lose access to all assosicated POL Accounts. There is no issue, it works just as described.

    Yea, if you had bothered to read ANY of the many token threads on this forum, you would have seen over ten different instances of people unlinking their account and accidentally deleting their POL account.

    DON'T UNLINK YOUR ACCOUNT FROM YOUR SE ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU ENJOY TWENTY DAYS ON HOLD WITH SQUARE-ENIX!

    Okay, simple question that is quasi-related.

    If I unlink my account, will my satchel continue to grow with my gobbiebag?

    Another simple question since you didn't read the post directly above yours.

    How do you plan on unlinking your account?

    so... cancel your token on your SE account
    then go into POL and set "Do not use" for 1 time password?

    will that let me remove it safely? or is this gonna lead to closed accounts etc

    That is what you're supposed to do if you want to stop using the token.

    1) Remove the token from your SE account.
    2) In your POL settings, set your account to "Do not use" under the token settings.

    That's all you need to do.
