Blizzard launches Mobile Authenticator for Android
by Sunfyre on Feb.09, 2010, under General
Released today to the Android Market is the mobile authenticator. There was some questioning whether it was genuine or not as it hasn’t been announced officially by Blizzard, but I did install it, it did not ask for any personal data, and it set up properly through the official battle.net site, and works when I log in. Android users, claim your [Core Hound Pup]!
To install, simply search for “Blizzard” in the Android Market.
Question of the Week: Authenticators
by Sunfyre on Dec.20, 2009, under General
Blizzard Authenticator. Do you use it? Which do you use? The key fob or the Mobile Authenticator for iPhone/iPod touch? Will the new Core Hound Pup convince you to use one?
Personally, I tried the iPhone app, but was not happy with how long it took to load and display a code. When I randomly disconnect from the server, especially if it were to happen in a raid, I don’t want to have to run all over my house looking for my phone. I still subscribe to the age old adage of “don’t share your password with anyone, and don’t download anything janky that could have a keylogger in it”. It seems to work well for me.
