i hate the phone authenticator. i have 2 different ones for SWTOR and FFXIV. id rather the physical one any day of my life
Removed
Wow! How times have changed! I've still got my authenticator tucked in a drawer somewhere!
The only reason I have a phone is for all these stupid authentication apps and texts.
This sucks for people who cant afford a smartphone.
I'm not sure why we'd want to switch to the phone app, if we already have a physical authenticator and it's working.
what about people who dont have a mobile phone at all does that now mean that i have no way of keep my wow accounts secure blizz there are some of us that dont use mobile phones so what do we do now ?
I have a physical authenticator for both my accounts - they're sitting right here in front of me. I've been thinking about moving to the phone app but the problem is my mobile is a work phone, and they have the ability to wipe my phone remotely for security reasons (which may or may not have anything to do with something I did on my phone). What happens if I switch to the phone app then loose access to the app? I remember early on when people with iPhones and the phone authenticator had all sorts of issues when Apple released an update to iOS. I'm sure the tech has evolved since then; would SMS be the backup?
If you remove an authenticator you lose the extra bag slots that you got for attaching a authenticator to your account . At least they did that to me a few months ago when I went from authenticator to SMS. I re-attached it and got my bigger backpack slots back. So now I have both I guess.
Whaaaat? This is dumb. Normally I try to see reason, but....this one has none. The phone app is insecure whereas the physical is completely secure. I also enjoy having the physical to keep more crap off of my phone.
What about those of us that have multiple accounts with different email addresses? I bought the physical authenticators because it won't let me attach my cell phone number to more then one account?
Solid question... What about people who have different hardware authenticators for multiple accounts? Could you get access to those with 1 mobile app? or are those folks going to have to prepare for the end of their accounts?
I still have the one I got during the first time they were available to EU customers. Still working.Should it stop working, I should have at least one more in one of the CEs.
