Or maybe you use some funky access point, which has your connection show up at the other side of the planet (think satellite internet provided on planes, or de-localised internet on trains).

How about this:

Normal login for same country, requires verification question for other areas. Or secondary email confirmation.

Me, I'd use a question from the latest read emails as security question, to prove you have access. E.g., type in the most used email address in your account. Or one of the last 10 read emails. That proves you had access last. Combined with password, you should be set.

I have weird ideas. They don't know they're weird.
