Battery on authenticator

[Yoroichi-uldum]

All right, I updated to the mobile authenticator, ty for the replies everyone

You’re the one who decided to nitpick changing a battery. I’m not the one with the problem. LOL

Are we even reading the same thread? Isn’t that the EXACT topic?

I have no idea why you got so butthurt over it…

[Deathbearer-grizzly-hills]

@Adewinne-emerald-dream

So you’re telling me there’s no way for those of us who a bit more tech savvy to crack that sucker open and put a new battery in there?

I find that hard to believe. Once my authenticator dies, I’ll be testing this out.

It is possible but not easy. And the case is destroyed in the process. There is a youtube video on it.

[Rhielle-sentinels (Rhielle)]

I’m not butthurt. I explained myself quite clearly and calmly. You seem to think that everyone who asks how to change a battery means to crack things open and MacGyver them and got all snippy about the fact that I said you couldn’t change the battery. Not to mention, I’m also not the first one to have said that. Yet you chose to get all snarky with me.

[Bærkat-proudmoore]

I just plug mine in. You know, since it’s on my phone.

I am not suprised they made it difficult. Thats half the fun

[Kaiyeri-bloodsail-buccaneers]

That is sad they do not have physical one any more. I still remember first one.

Yeah, there was no “Snippy” on my end. None intended at all. You interpreted that way, and you were wrong in that interpretation.

I was making a general statrement. I am amazed it turned out this way.

No, the battery cannot be replaced. And the keyfob is no longer produced as of last year. The only option now is to transfer to a phone authenticator, if you have a smartphone. I don’t (much to the surprise of Wyatt over at Diablo), so when my keyfob dies I’ll be authenticatorless.

Agreed and disappointing… I have my 10 year old phone to do phone stuff. and my authenticator to … authenticate.

Guess I’ll just lose protections.

Thanks, Bliz?

Then check your wording before you post.

@Adewinne-emerald-dream

So you’re telling me

That’s not how you start a supposedly “general statement,” targeting the third or fourth person down in a thread that’s said the same thing as others.

@Adewinne-emerald-dream

I find that hard to believe.

Also not how you display a supposedly innocent comment by showing condescension and disbelief towards someone who wasn’t even the first to mention this issue.

If you want to make “general statements,” then don’t quote someone and use such wording.

The more you know!™

So your phone isn’t a smartphone? Do you have an iPad or anything? Someone else mentioned an Android emulator for your PC as another option.

You were wrong. Don’t get so worked up about some text on the internet when it meant nothing. You can quote as many things as you want but you were wrong.

[Rhielle-sentinels (Rhielle)]

I’m not worked up, m’dear. I never was. LOL

I always enjoy how someone can’t take getting comments back that don’t line up with their narrative and automatically go the “you’re so upset!” route. It’s always amusing.

I’m capable of wording things correctly so that others don’t misinterpret. You might want to try to do the same in the future. Have a good day.

[Adewinne-emerald-dream]

My god, is this kid for real?

[Mongork-winterhoof]

if you have a smartphone it’s easier to use the App

[Adewinne-emerald-dream]

@Mongork-winterhoof

I set my security settings to not ask for a code on trusted devices, so it never asks for one on my gaming PC. You are right, it might be easier, but I’m a bit of a tinkerer so I’ll dive into my physical authenticator when death shows up for it lol

[Mute-silvermoon]

Every time these threads come up I’m like, “I need to change mine from physical to phone app before it’s an issue” but then I forget again. It’s gonna get me one day. Probably soon I’ve had it this whole time.
