Battle.net Changes and Authenticator multi account

[Ribbs42]

Recently there has been a few changes to battle.net including changes on how the authenticator works for the wow game-client.

Before these changes it was possible to launch several gameclients from different battle.net accounts on the same computer without it asking for the authenticator-code every time you login.

For this to work you need to have:
Security Options->Authenticator->Enter an authenticator code every time I type my credentials in a game client or the Battle.net desktop app. NOT ENABLED !

Now with these changes a token is saved in the windows registery allowing you to login again without the use of the authenticator every single time.

This registry setting is overwritten every time you login with another battle.net account causing you to enter the authenticator code every time you startup your team on at least the account that was not last used.

When you are using more as one bettle.net account, or if you broadcast the password to all clients a few will ask for the code each time you logout/in from battle.net.

To prevent this from happening you can virtualize this registery setting with ISBoxer.

Here is how i did this:

Lets say we have 2 battle.net accounts BNetA and BNetB

Start the ISBoxer toolkit
Go to "Wizards" menu and select "Virtual File Wizard"
Now from the dropdownlist select: Other (Please specify file) and in the field below you enter:
Software/Blizzard Entertainment/World of Warcraft/Client/
Click Next and select ALL of the characters you want this to apply to.

(Do the following for each character!)

Select the character from the Characters-list and go to the Virtual Files section.

Select the newly created setting and change the "Virtualize as" to:
Software/Blizzard Entertainment/World of Warcraft-ISBoxer/Client-BNetA/
For all characters on the BNetA battle.net account.

Software/Blizzard Entertainment/World of Warcraft-ISBoxer/Client-BNetB/
For all characters on the BNetB battle.net account.

Now you can broadcast-login again without it asking for the code again until the token needs to be renewed
(because the registery key is new you need to enter it once more for it to store it in the correct virtualized location)

Goodluck and happy Boxing!
