Once activated by players, this system will message your verified email whenever a change is made to your account, ensuring that you know if any suspicious activity is happening. To activate email verification and shield your account from unauthorized access just: [list] [*] Head to leagueoflegends.com and sign in [*] Click your summoner name [*] Follow the prompts to establish a verified email account[/list] Baddies won’t be able to change a single credential on your account without also having access to your verified email account. This is just a first step - we’re looking into many more security features to keep your account details safe like SMS protection and more, so stay tuned. To say thanks, we’re offering up a 4-win IP boost for everyone that establishes a verified email account. Head back to [url=leagueoflegends.com][b]leagueoflegends.com[/b][/url] to get started.

[quote=caucheka]we didnt even have this yet?[/quote]

[quote=drakon136]No we did not, for as we all know, Riot is a poor indie company that does not have the money or time to implement features such as this.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao]I want Mobile verification like Blizzard! Although Blizzard complete asswipes, they value security.[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]Or they value your phone number. I find it weird that it's an opt-in but good it's here.[/quote]

[quote=Nadoxx]Now account stealing will be harder for hackers, good job riot :)[/quote]

[quote=flummie007]Very smart move from Riot. Id say, about time they introduced this. I am quite surpised they waited so long to implement this.[/quote]

[quote=Thalia Kael]Didn't even know we didn't have this. I bet you 99% of the ppl only did it for the IP boost. Also, for a long time now when I write my password or the captcha wrong on the site it says "internal server error", is that normal?[/quote]

[/quote] No I don't thinks thats a normal response but as long as you can refresh the page and try it again you should be fine. also the IP boosts were nice but I would have done it even if it was a paid service I value my account and it's about time that Riot has set this up it gives us at least a little more security.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=Ninja Trigger] I would have done it even if it was a paid service [/quote] why? this is extremely basic in terms of concept and enforcement so its one of a few security measures that should be used irregardless.[/quote]
