Why? You like never have to enter it, I honestly don’t remember entering it for like a year now
Between me and my kids, it was always getting locked somehow, then required a support ticket to fix. I dunno.
I really don’t think much of the people here who can’t understand that not everyone in the world lives like they do or have the advantages they do.
I do have a cheapo zte cell phone straight talk pay by the month thing. It’s spending more money than I’d like but I feel safer having that when I travel. It’s nice they’ve given us options like pay by the month. Still…it’s a freakin toaster. I had to delete all the apps because I kept getting error notices. I will see if this one app won’t sent it into a frenzy. My son is keeping an eye out for a bargain Samsung note…we’re hoping. Then I’m going to go to Verizon pay by the month option.
oh…Satellite…feels bad. I had dial up until this area finally had one provider who had broad band. Still not great but I"m not going to complain. lol

For someone that doesn’t have the patience to explain how if your WoW Acct gets compromised, it compromises your authenticator (if you use an android emulator on your pc), you sure have a ton of patience for this thread and topics that include the authenticator!

You can go to your security settings in your Blizzard account page to disable requiring an authenticator for every login. I haven’t had to actually use the authenticator for months despite having it and SMS linked to my account.
I’m specifically talking about people who refuse to use the technologies available to them.
I removed the authenticator when i got the mobile one.
SMS Protect is not the same as the authenticator.

Isn’t MetroPCS everywhere? My plan is pretty cheap and you can get a practically free Android from them.
Well I doubt they are going to extend that to Canadians.
They probably are able to actually WORK.
I disagree.
I had someone try to log into my account from Kuala Lumpur a few months back.
No idea how they would have gotten my data, but the authenticator stopped them.
TAKE THAT KUALA LUMPUR GUY.

It takes more learning than it is worth. I hate doing anything on small screens as well.
There isn’t much learning involved. A code appears on your computer. The same code appears on your device with buttons labeled “Approve” and “Deny”. Click the appropriate one.

You’re probably being to complex.
Might need too dumb it down further.
Huh that sucks. I have a physical one, I like that thing.

It was most likely a business decision, like the cost to manufacture an authenticator outweighed the need for a physical one.
also, you do know if you hold your thumb over the randomly generated number before the timer goes out, it automatically copies it to your clip board, making verification much easier?
Therein lay the issue, then. A subset of people refuse to learn, and hold all the world back in their ignorance.

Bingo. I’m not paying 75+ bucks a month for a smartphone plan when there’s nothing I can’t live without -on- that smartphone. I’m Gen X-- I grew up without being online 24/7 and I can still function that way no problem.

Many low income rental complexes or subdivisions include Internet charges into the lot rent. Renters have no choice but to pay for an ISP as it is mandatory via the rental contract or lease.
The more you know.

Not sure how the world is being held back by a relatively small number of Luddites.
