This article explains what IP-based login is and what purpose it serves in the Gala Games and Entertainment Ecosystem.

What is the Gala Games and Entertainment Ecosystem

What is $GALA 

The IP address-based login system allows for an additional layer of security within the Gala Games and Entertainment ecosystem by adding another factor of authentication which is required upon login. 

This system passively matches the IP address from the new login attempt against the previously used IP. If the IPs do not match, it will require users to perform an action in order to log in successfully. 

Accessing the account from a new location

If such an event occurs, the login process is halted until the user verifies the legitimacy of the attempt via an 8-digit authentication code that will get sent to the associated email address.

The email itself will consist of the following information:

See the example below.

Note: If this email is encountered without a login attempt from the legitimate owner of the account, it is highly recommended to reset the password and contact support immediately via this link.

Furthermore the Gala Support Team highly recommends using separate and unique passwords for both your Gala Games and Entertainment account and the associated email address. Please visit the Keeping a Gala Games and Entertainment Account Secure article for more information about this.

Will I get prompted for an email verification every time I sign in?
Only when you sign in from a new location.

Will this affect my nodes?
No

What should I do if the code isn't working?
Clear the cache or try a different browser and try to re-authenticate again.
