WoW accounts getting hacked

[Hachoo]

I just said in my post above that 1 authenticator works with all accounts you link to it.

I'm using an authenticator with 5 accounts - I load keyclone, load my 5 WoWs, type my password in and it prompts all 5 for the authenticator code - I then enter the authenticator code once (which types on all 5 windows) and hit enter and I'm in.

I registered my (recently acuired) autenticator against all my 3 accounts.

Not attempted to log in to all 3 accounts at the same time using the authenticator yet though, so I don't know how 2 (or more) simultaneous logins are affected by the authenticator.

But you will not need 5 different autenticators for 5 accounts, you only need 1.

Edit: beaten to it.

oh yea... and blizzard (or anyone doing authentication) should block an ip address FOR AN HOUR if they blow a password more then 10 times in a row. this would kill the brute force attackers

I'm using the authenticator w/ 5 accounts. Keyclone method could work, but since I have numbers in my username and password both it's a little bit of a pain to use it during the login process. You have a fudge factor of a minute or two to use the key before it's no longer valid and I can usually log all 5 sessions independantly and manually using the same key as the first time I press the button even if the number on the authenticator has changed by the time I get to the last one. I though tit would be a big headache using it w/ 5, but it doesn't even phase me.... I had my authenticator for the longest time and didn't activate it until my account was in the middle of being compromised. Someone had changed the email address associated w/ one of my accounts. Before they could use that to do a password reset, I was able to login and add the authenticator and then called blizz to get the email address set back.

I have 5 accounts tied to 1 authenticator. I fire up keyclone, I fire up all 5 wows. I place the cursor in the password field on each window. I enter the password and it appears in all 5 wow windows (yarly). I hit <enter>. I get prompted for my Authenticator code. I enter the 6 digit code and it appears in all 5 wow windows (inorite). Then I go melt faces feeling very secure that my EPIX won't be sharded.

Why do numbers in your username/password make things problematic?

FWIW this is another reason why I like using 5 wow folders for my 5 accounts. My login names are just saved for each account so all I have to do is type my password (which is the same on all 5 accounts of course) followed by the authenticator number.

Also I have to use my hotkey for do not pass so it will pass EVERY key I push during login, otherwise some letters in my password that are on my do not pass list don't get sent to the clone windows - I bound ctrl+pause for DNP (and just pause for mute).

Why do you click on the password box on all 5 windows? On my WoW, the cursor is already in the password box on all 5 windows when WoW fires up. I don't have to click at all on any of my WoW windows until after I've completely logged in and am in-game.

Old habits hard to break. I have different wow folders with different settings, so some of them have the account name saved, some don't so I'm always checking and making sure where the input goes.

You know you can configure keyclone to automatically type your login name in when you open WoW right? Just go to your keyclone program settings and set each WoW window profile to have the login name typed in for you, then you only have to worry about the passwords.

Yah when I'm using keyclone I have that configured. But when I'm using IS I don't have the account names saved because I don't have the virtualization of the configs done yet. So when IS runs my 3 wows on my desktop, they run of the same folder atm.
