Two factor authentication for a video game just seems like too much hassle.
Waiting x weeks for GMS to restore and/or farming to replace the crap lost on 5/10 accounts seems a hell of a lot more hassle. Nevermind proving that you are in fact the owner of all those accounts and that you were not the one spamming goldselling sites or making corpsespam in Org.
If you get your accounts stolen, sure. I'd rather take my chances than be paranoid. And funny, I'm a security analyst by profession. I don't even run anti-virus, haha.Quote:

I got a question how do you login on all 5 accounts at once since they all use the same Login Username?
Pretty sure it works on more than 9 accounts. I haven't counted lately, but I know I have more than 9. I can confirm that Battle.net limits you to 8 Wow accounts per login, which makes me regret having converted them over in the manner I did. Not sure why they put a limit on it.Quote:

I've never been hacked and never had a virus or spyware problem, but part of the reason is because I make sure to protect my systems. I'm at very low risk for having my accounts hacked, but I bought an authenticator anyway. It was something like $8. If you can afford to multibox, a one-time $8 fee for what is effectively 100% security is more than reasonable.Quote:
