So title basically states it.
Do I use one Battle.net handle and one authenticator? Or multiple handles, and figure out how to use multiple authenticators?
Ideally, I would like the safety of having them secured with one. But I don't want to wait 5 minutes to login 5 toons, since DC's are prevalent since I live in AUS and play on wireless internet. o,O
As far as I know you can use 1 authenticator with multiple accounts assuming they are under the same name/e-mail address.
I have 5 accounts and use 1 authenticator to log in all toons. My authenticator is on an iTouch and cycles a new code every 30 seconds, thus just over 2min to log in all 5 accounts
I believe they changed it so that you can no longer set up multiple battle.net accounts with the same authenticator. You can have a single authenticator for multiple accounts only if they are on the same battle.net account. They weren't going to make you change it if you already had it configured to work with multiple battle.net accounts but they weren't going to allow you to configure it that way anymore.
I am at work so I cannot confirm but I believe this is the link that states the new policy

Multiple authenticators would be a pain for me (I tend to toss them on a pile) but you may have better luck if you can organize them somehow. Otherwise your only choice will be to put all the accounts under one battle.net account and wait for the codes to change for each login.
Multiple WoW accounts, yes, but not multiple Battle.net accounts.Quote:

...Going forward, Battle.net authenticators can now only be associated with one Battle.net account at a time. No changes are being made to how many game licenses a single Battle.net account can support. You can still have multiple World of Warcraft accounts under a single Battle.net account, for instance, and all game licenses linked with a Battle.net account will still be protected if an authenticator is in use.
Those of you who currently have more than one Battle.net account associated with a single authenticator will be able to maintain your existing setup without needing to do anything. This change will only affect new authenticator attachments. ...
