GrubHub has this problem, kind of I think. If I'm on a VPN GrubHub will often deny access ("invalid password"...). Worse is, logging off of the VPN doesn't immediately help and neither does using another browser. Only thing I can do is wait until it decides to forget. Absolutely frustrating.

That’s almost certainly nothing related to location detection so much as it is the VPN block of IPs being marked as less trustworthy. Then there’s a cooldown on a flagged account that stops you even after disconnecting.
