So maybe I have been doing it WRONG. You tell me

[emitchell109]

Until last night after I got home and logged in to flip thru my garrisons before bed, I noticed a change.
The change was that I only had to enter my authenticator code ONE time.

Typically in the past, each client required a code, and each code was only usable once. Also, You could not HIT enter after inputing the password in order to get to the Authenticator prompt UNTIL a new code was generated.
Tedious as all GET OUT <-- I am southern

But last night I entered it on my first toon, Stuntmanbob. Then switched to Stuntmanmike rdy to do the deed and POOF, like magic he logged in instantly. Ray, Jake, and Eli all followed suit as well. It was amazing.

My girlfriend asked why i was crying, and I managed to mumble out "because I am so happy".

hmm,m I am EU and its been like that for quiet some time, you only have to re enter your authenticator code if your IP address changes

hRmmm...
Well ty for the input, I doubt comcast was constantly changing my ip. But idk, it is widely accepted that comcast is in fact the devil.

I have re vamped my isboxer profile a few times recently and I was wondering if something within that process I just kept missing?
Oh well. Change is good, this time.

If you try logging them all in at once the authentication prompt pops up on each, but if you are logging in one at a time only the first will receive the authentication prompt. It has always been like this for me.

Did you recently combine all your accounts into one battle.net account? That could explain it as well.

[emitchell109]

Nope, I have had them all bound since the start.
I would have to "Key maps off" broadcast my password in, and at this point if i where to Broadcast the ENTER key it would prompt each screen for the authn code.
However only one code could be used at a time, so IF I did make this mistake it would force me to reenter my password again and leave each game client at that screen with
Login: *******
Pass: ********

then move thru each window one by one hitting enter applying the NEW code, like once every 30secs or something.

Last night as I mentioned that all changed. I enter in my first, moved to the second and it was Wam Bam Select your toon... At first I thought, wow I must have just blacked out and auto piloted the code in. So as I made my way to the third, hit enter and BOOM TOWN, straight to my char select screen.

Stood up for a slight celebration dance, then got back to business as usual.

By the way @JohnGabriel some of your work with menus/isboxer setups... *claps Incredible and ty, implementing all sorts of different things/at least trying too..

The way I usually do it is log one client in manually once a week when the authenticator prompt comes up. Then I log him back out to login screen. Then I broadcast password to everyone and they all just login as usual without the authenticator prompt for another week or so.

I've only ever had to enter an authenticator code one time.

1) Log in all accounts at the same time using broadcasting
2) Prompted for auth code on all accounts
3) Disable broadcasting and enter code on one account
4) That account logs into character selection screen
5) Turn on broadcasting and hit escape to log that account out and clear the auth code prompt on the other accounts
6) Log in again like nothing happened
7) ???
8) Multibox!
