You can buy authenticators for less than $20 on amazon. I have a hard time believing that so many people don’t have access to a smart phone when it’s almost 2022, but if you don’t then spend the money on amazon.
There it is, folks. There is no reason to scream and be mad anymore.
how dare they make me secure my account and gain backpack space
Can’t you just use the free google authenticator?
I have no idea what a free google authenticator is.
Yes, you can also use the free blizzard one
Do you know what an authenticator is?
If yes, the answer is simple, it’s a google authenticator.
That said, it’s a 6 digit code, how many digits in a blizz authenticator?
Oh that’s good to know. My life is already being ruined by MFA, might as well add another bloody MFA to it.
Mine used a 6 digit code to set up, doesn’t even need a code to approve, just open authenticator and press ok or w/e wording it used.
Upon installation I haven’t once been asked to authorize anything after the initial set up
( I’m using the battle.net authenticator from the Google play store)
I got my phone in 2018 No one to talk to though so I feel like I’m wasting money each month.
You can call me if you get bored.
It’s definitely worthwhile. Equivalent to entering a wifi password. 1 time, unless a new device or location. Same for forum access.
Then you play as normal and enjoy your bag space.
Have not had account info stolen since using authenticator. Has been an issue in the past.
Do it.
I don’t see that Blizz is covered under the Google authenticator?
You also get an in-game pet. I forget the name but it was something like a mini corehound
Forgot about that!
I figured, they both use same open source technology but have implemented it differently. Googles codes are limited to 6 digits while blizz are 8 from what I’m seeing in graphics and my own authenticator.
Might get winauth and just go that route, I don’t want any more blizz apps cluttering up my host at home. Anyways, no point discussing this too long. It’s a pain but it’s not a bad thing. I don’t think i’ll be too much at loss if my account goes at this stage of life and the state of the game…
1: Did we need another thread on the topic and
2: It’s a limited amount (only 7 of them )
3: In spite of what those coverage maps tell you there are some areas with little to no cell coverage but have land lines because hard lines have been in place for years .
- you responded, so apparently yes.
- ok
- Entirely agree - I know some wow players that get internet over sat.
1.) thanks for the bump, if a topic bothers you then skip over it.
2.) find another source, a fast google search showed me plenty of places.
3.) buy an authenticator.
