Get a Authenticator!!!

Michelanio · May 10, 2010, 03:00:22 PM

Recently there have been a lot of hacked accounts among friends and guilds and a big tip to get this down is to get a authenticator!
The normal authenticator that be baught from the blizzard store at http://eu.blizzard.com/store and then click your way to the authenticator (direct link to it here)
If you however don't want to spend alot of money then why don't go for the mobile one that can be found at http://mobile.blizzard.com/fr-en/t401-c12902/applications-battle-net-mobile-authenticator and that one only cost about 60-70p or something (thats the one I got)
Or if you got a Iphone or Ipod Touch it's even free to download

Or if you got a android you can get that one here and it's also free

Some guilds even require that (at least for officers and people who can withdraw large amounts of money/items). Proof is easy - you either have Molten Core pup pet or not. It is really a good Idea having it, you will also get faster "recovery service" from Blizzard.

Even if you are very carefull you might get a keylogger on a "safe" page and all of a sudden your hacked by scamers, don't trust any website!

Just installed mine on my mobile, its all very easu and it cost just a few penny. I dont have a fancy phone or anything, samsung D900 but it runs like a gnome trough gnomer!
Hopefully the next time the hacker wants to do some dungeons with my gnome, my core hound pup will bite his willy off (I mean the pet willy).

I would download the Android one, but apparently my HTC Hero is not an option.

It's not? I've had the authenticator on my Hero for a couple of months or more now, working like a charm...

Just got the Iphone app now, pretty sweet

Aye, the web page on the shop just lists a single model phone for HTC (not Hero), whereas clearly the correct thing to do would be to go to Market and that's what I did and found it!

Worth every penny, and since they hook into your b.net account it will also protect other blizzard games you play (ie Starcraft 2). I got one as soon as it came out and never regretted it. Mind you this is not 100% fool proof as there is a man-in-the-middle-scam going on for protected accounts.
