I'm surprised no place uses IP addresses anymore to authenticate (I was around when Postopia did or whatever that candy themed game place was). Many IP-ban when it comes to identifying rulebreakers, you'd think they'd IP-authenticate too.
Imagine if your roommate could just get into all your accounts?
I know that's untactical, but I mean as long as IP bans are already a thing...
Carrier grade NAT. For instance, on our local mobile phone network, thousands of handsets will have the same public IP address.
