Good news: we’re adding some new account security measures to make it much tougher for ne’er-do-wells to bust into your account and rough up the joint.
First, changing the email address linked to your account will now send a message to the old address notifying it of the change. This will give you a heads-up in case someone is trying to hijack your account. This change has automatically gone into effect for all accounts.
Secondly, we’re providing an optional security measure for those of you who want to lock down your account even further. In your Account Settings panel, you’ll now see a checkbox for “IP Verification.” If you check this, we’ll send you an email with a) a link to turn the feature on, and b) an emergency link to turn it off. Neither link requires you to be logged into your account. Even if you’ve clicked the Account Settings checkbox, the feature will not be activated until you click the first link in your confirmation email.
Once you’ve turned on IP Verification, you’ll be sent a verification email whenever you try to log in from a new location. Until you click a link in the verification email, you won’t be able to log in from that new location. This means that some jerk across the country can’t get into your account without your say-so.
Warning: this feature is not ideal for everyone; if you change locations frequently, this feature may prove to be more annoying than helpful. However, if you generally log into Gaia from one place, it will make your account much, much more secure. We’ve made this option mandatory for staff accounts for quite some time, and it’s worked wonders for us.
Additional note: if you have IP Verification turned on and your account somehow gets hacked anyway, you’ll be given priority in our customer service queue. Just another benefit to consider!
With individual love to each and every one of you,
The Gaia Team
^^^ This probably won't stop us from getting into there account. Herp derp.

I agree its better to get the email or emails if they have two of them and then just change the passes on those accounts through email or some people call it snailmail...
