We have all seen or hear about this matter, some people are being harassed by other players and/or bots, that attempt to login to your account, and that ends up preventing you from logging into your very own account.
We already have the Authenticator that aids us, in preventing someone from accessing our account, in the event they have our login information.
IP Authenticator
Opt-in, so you are not forced to use said system.
Allow X IP adresses to attempt to login (If an IP adress is not listed, it will not attempt to login)
In the event, your IP adress is altered, i.e. ISP changes it, you can login to the Runescape website and add/remove IP adress.
Multiple IP adresses being whitelisted
I proposed said idea to a few of my clan mates, and some of them were concered about the idea, that Jagex would store these IP adresses. What people dont understand is, that they are already storing said IP adresses. How do you think, they can identify you as the true owner of an account, in the event it has been hijacked?
How do you think they range ban someone who is botting? They do that partly based on IP adresses, so they already got them. This system would atleast aid those, who struggle with people who know their username information, so they can actually play the game.
And for those otherwise, it would make it less likely for a hijacker, to access your precious account.
