Pretty sure the app only needs wifi.

It actually only needs a connection it does not need to be anything specific just enough to transmit 400kb of data

It stopped them from listing ads in group finder.

the app only installs on a phone

Or an Android emulator on your PC. Or an old phone or iPod that you just use on WiFi if you don’t currently own a smartphone.

you are way more tech saavy than me- i have never even heard of Bluestacks. can you walk me through it?

I am looking at bluestacks now, it looks like STeam or something?

You need a phone though. I tested and couldn’t use just the Battle.net authenticator. It needs SMS protect set up too.

It emulates an Android device. You just use a Google account and open the app store on like you would if you were using an Android phone or tablet.

Once the store is open, you search for the Blizzard authenticator then just download it

I used it myself for a while for it and I have an authenticator from another game on it currently.

All they need to do it add a drop down menu for the mythic plus level and then you have all the information you need to make groups. Sort of odd they didn’t just set it up that way.

That I don’t know. Maybe @Vinarassi would know that one.

So you got a Mac but don’t have a phone that can install an app.

o k a y
somethin’ doesn’t add up

Can’t you just tell the truth why you don’t want this on your phone?

It’s literally just virtualized android running on a computer instead of a phone it’s nothing scary it basicly installs the same way you would setup a phone

Hey VInarassi. SO I installed Bluestacks on my mac, everything seems fine, but when I am setting up the authenticator APP it gets to a phone number part and when i enter one it says “external error.” so i entered even a local number that is a cell of my friend and still doesnt work

You’re fooling yourself.

Seriously? Did you read somewhere that there would be ZERO? It helps as there are like 10X LESS than there were before. How can you not understand this?

Head on a pike example would help. Many people don’t report because they know nothing happens.

That’s not really true. I made my account in the us years ago and now live in Australia. I can’t even activate the authenticator as it won’t accept my Aus phone number
