Dial-in Authenticator!

[Ualaa]

Well, if you put all of your accounts into a single B.Net account.
And can log in, without a code and without issue, if you're doing so from your home.

But you need to phone in, if you want to log in from a friends place, or a hotel when on a road trip.
And a hacker/keylogger also needs you to call in, if they're logging in anywhere other then from your house.

If that's how it works, then I'd rather have the phone feature then a keyfob.
Of course, have to wait until the service is offered in Canada.

Yeah, this is going to make logging in SO MUCH FASTER.

The only problem is that it won't work for guilds that require authenticators to access the g-bank. Which may or may not hose me at this point.

Once this goes live, I would be very disappointed in any guild that didn't add it to the list of acceptable two-factor authentication schemes for bank access, assuming it shows up in the options of course.

When is the Dial-in authenticator going live? /wrists when using my authenticator 5 times just to switch teams

why do you need to enter it again to switch teams? if your using the same 5 accounts, just logout instead of exit.

I have tons of teams and never need to re-enter the code, you just activate the different teams in IS and then go. no problems.

This is one of 3 options for authentication, I don't see why guild access that requires the use of authenticators would be impacted by this. Its just a different form of the authenticator.

You should give it a test as there are a few people in Canada that say it works for them (apparently US toll-free numbers work for Canadians) but you probably have a better idea than I do
