Constantly password resetting

I access eBay from three different computers. They all have VPNs which automatically change the IP address regularly.  Every time I try to log in, eBay makes me change my password. It is really irritating. Is there some sort of workaround?

Yeah, I've heard that before.  Also, that a VPN slows down the computer significantly.  But, I can't attest to that personally because I don't use a VPN.  A Virtual Private Network has some features that I would like, but the trade-off is unsat.  I use complicated passwords, yet easy* to remember.  I think nobody could possibly hack any of my accounts by guessing or reasoning out the password.  They might get in some other way, but not via password.  

 

*For example, mnemonics.  Here's an example, one I don't use:  4Sasyaofbfotcann - and it could be extended even longer.  Can you guess it?  What if I told you the first four words are Four score and seven?  Got it now?  Anything can be chosen.  Meoadeoallei = Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy.  Of course for that one you'd have to figure out some way to get a number in there, since most passwords require at least one.
