Battle.net Account

The key ring is six digits, the mobile one is eight.

What is an Authenticator code and where do I see it?

The Authenticator code is an eight-digit numeric code that is produced when you select "View Code" in your Battle.net Mobile application. Each code is unique and is valid only once.

There were rumors back in beta that they'll be giving chilly the penguin (the non-demonic baby penguin pet) to people who migrate over to the combined blizzard account.

Yea. You got a pet in the mail and the mail thanked you for converting to a Battle.net account. Was wondering when this would happen, but I noticed the forums offered to let me use a battle.net account, so I figured it was soon Wonder if this means Starcraft2 Beta keys will be usable soon.

So if your using maximizer to automatically imput your account names wouldn't this new battle.net make it so that no longer happens? Meaning for each window you'd have to type in you password then select which acount you wished to play.

Multiboxing fail after adding only 8 wow accounts and 2 warcraft III accounts

[moosejaw]

The FAQ says the limit is 8 accounts per battle.net. So you ten boxers need to create 2 battle.net accounts and then merge them.

I am so happy they did this. I was going to post a suggestion for linking accounts so we can quickly mail between our multiboxed accounts and not suffer the 1 hour penalty. This may also mean we can mail account bound items between our boxed accounts also. So if you collect more stonekeeper shards on one account you can send the spoils to other accounts without having to pay $25 for a transfer.

Overall a big woot!

This is a dream of mine for sure. A more basic thing I'd like to see is the ability to change accounts from the character select screen instead of having to logout all the way. Even just that would be sweet! Using the Battle.Net account to login to the WoW forums will let you easily flip between accounts to choose a character to post from. It's very nice. I'm a fan!

Hold your horses. I did not read about those suggestions you mentioned above in the battle.net faq.
In perspective of the single game account game nothing will (probably) change.
Just the authentication will change.

Account bound things will (probably)not be affected by this

Think about it in the line of an XBox live id. Just another ID, where you can brag on forums with how many accounts you have and so on ....

I think even that it adds additional complexity to the login process.

you have to authenticate the battle net, then select the account, and then the character.

What do I get as a player from that ? I already have my accounts registered with one authenticator token (brilliant invention btw)

I'm with Bloodcloud on this. I don't see what I'm getting out of this aside from another inconvenience of logging in.

Battle.net Accounts and you: How I merged 7 wow accounts to 1 login.


I did this for my accounts this morning, the extra mouse click to log in doesn't bother me, so if another click is that important to you, I wouldn't merge your accounts until they force you (if that ever even happens). This is a welcome change to me as I'm frequently on realm forums and the logging in and out is awful there. Along with the bonus of being able to admin the accounts at once without logging in and out? Yes plox. do want.
