This image is not properly representing the reason for the change like you think it might, especially since those guards are preventing us from leaving the castle rather than entering it.

I wonder if these batteries might leak.
yikes
Soā¦ false news again?
When Blizz started actively blocking new accounts from having an authenticator due to Blizzard mislabeling post paid phone numbers as pre-paid, thus blocking everyoneā¦
One has to wonder if Blizz is just lip servicing the authenticator yet again, but this time to please the new owners.

Wait until January 5th and find out. 
I live in an area where there is no cell coverage, unless I make an 8 mile trip to town.
A desktop version of an authenitcator would be REALLY nice.
Hereās an exact quote from ya. āYou going to pay for a phone to put the moble app on ? Not every one has a cell phone.ā I replied to this post because itās the first one I read. Donāt expect people to know your life story just because you told someone else all kinds of useless info. Learn common courtesy.
Well honestly you could make that 8 mile trip into town if you do have a cell phone. And set it upā¦and then just put it (cellphone) in wi fi mode because SMS is only used for the initial startupā¦
I see why they donāt make a physical because itās not worth the money when you have an app and the vast majority of people have a cell phone that play this game.
I also would like to add that make sure you have an up to date cell phone, Iāve been using mine for over12 years (yeah its old but I donāt need to watch tic toc)
I understand that bliz doesnāt want to support old tech, but seriously, consider you get to support old tech because you have been successful for so long and those are the people who subscribe. Dont cut off your arm to spite your income

i wont be around if i canāt log in Such a bummer - but adios
Why canāt you log in?
Because my phone is old and wonāt take updates. I wonāt take forced migration of technology
What if your refrigerator, dish washer, dryer, and washing machine had to be replaced every 2 or 3 years? what a waste literally - all i want to do is play a game - not have to replace some crappy device because my game company decided that this was their lame security was based on

Well if I cant log in after 1/5 adios amigos Stupid decision.
Iād ask in CS, then. The Bnet app should work on old OS, it does on mine.
Odd comparison, considering you donāt have to replace your phone. The game is playable without the authenticator, just not as secure.
Nothing is stopping you.
Three posts in a row and you still donāt seem to understand that nothing is preventing you from logging in.
No Iāve already tried several times - are you trying to argue?
