Repeated new location log ins

[DJ51]

IS anybody else experiencing this, I frequently log in to see the message "looks like you're logging in from a new computer or location, we have sent a special code to your email'

I have not changed computer or location in more than a year is this just bad account management or has steam dropped the ball and I have piggy backers on my steam account ?

DO you experience this ? is it normal for this to go on often ? thoughts on why or what's happening please

this happened to me several times. just a guess but it may have to do with dynamically assigned IP addresses. your ISP has a pool of IP addresses and when you connect you are assigned which ever is at the top of the list or the bottom or from a group for your area. trion uses this address to identify you by location. however during peak hours your ISP might run out of addresses for your area or group. your ISP would instead assign you an address from a different group. this could cause you to appear to be somewhere else triggering the auto response to verify your ID. Additionally, a cascade failure could cause internet traffic to be routed through a different subnet also causing you to appear to be somewhere else triggering the auto response to verify your ID. But, I'm just guessing.
