I see me and an endless loop of ban again, my IP shows 2 different regions from day to day, Nürnberg and Nordhausen (230km) so I'm screwed I guess...

It should still be seen as the same device though. Can be a problem if you reinstall though as it might see a new device, at a new location.

Pretty much.

There was a topic about someone being "hacked" on the Steam Reddit a few days ago. This would have protected that person.

(Hacked is in quotations because someone probably phished for their information)

At what point was it gone since it was first implemented?

I don't seem to understand what this means... so I have two laptops I use, and I sometimes log into the browser... does this mean I can only log into one place forever or else I'm locked out for 15 days? The heck?

We will see, but last time it was this:

login from new device (Steamguard message appears) or clear cookies and cache of your browser
be banned for 15 days on all devices

No, you're locked out from market and trading for 15 days on THAT specific device, not all devices.

That's not how it goes anymore. Now it's just that device.

I hope so. Still I would like to see an option to turn it off.

It's still not the way it's supposed to work. The announcement was that the new device only would be locked out. I think they just screwed up a bit on the implementation.

IP check? What the heck? Won't it screw up people with dynamic IP, which is probably most of us? O.o

Oh man, I bet no one thought of this since so few people use a wireless router for multiple devices.

I am no expert on networking, but don't all devices behind a router show up with same IP to the world and only the router than routes the traffic to assigned internal IPs? Also, correct me if I am wrong, this is a thing that actually interests me, but not that much that I look for the info :p

"Logging in from a new computer or browser will NOT completely disable trading and market access on the account. This restriction applies only to the new computer or browser. If you log in from a new computer, you will still be able to trade from any computer that you authorized at least 15 days ago."

Doesn't sound bad to me.
