Bliz Authenticator, one battlenet Account, 5 Sub Accounts

aha, thx moosejaw. I will investigate now

I didn't realize login was a difficult task. Just broadcast your authenticator key, press enter...

And that's no longer working after todays downtime. It's 1 authenticator key -> 1 login for me. Sucks terribly...

Not according to Fenril:

[13:46] Niley: anyone had any issues with loging in today? authenticator issues?
[13:47] Niley: Poing, another boxer in my guild couldnt use same code for all the accounts
[13:49] MiRai: I've logged in 3 times today simulatneously with the same authenticator code here
[13:49] MiRai: before maintenance
[13:49] MiRai: and twice after

[Klesh]

Well, it's definately 1 auth key per login for me right now. So about 2.5 minutes to log all 5, a freaking joke.

I'm having the same issue..... with battle.net account. this is really terrible

The choice is one B.Net account, with a distinct authenticator code per account.

Or five B.Net accounts, one per PC.
With the same code on all five at once.

The first option gets you the integrated account management stuff.
And is more secure.

The second option is far more convenient entering the game.
But is less secure, unless you always enter with all five accounts, thereby invalidating the code for each.

I have to use the authenticator for EACH client. I can't broadcast the code... its a bit annoying to login, but not as annoying as to find my accounts have been hacked

I will try again to see if I can login by broadcasting the authenticator code.

[Ualaa]

You'll only be able to broadcast the authenticator code (one code for all accounts), if you have each account on its own Battle.Net email.

I have five Battle.Net emails, with one wow account on each. And can log in, all five at once, by first broadcasting the password, and then broadcasting the single authenticator code.

I lose the integrated account management features.
And if they ever change BoA items to be across the battlenet (as rumored), I'd lose out on that too.

[Seldum]

Yes it dosen't work by broadcasting the authenticator code to the clients, as I have setup my wow accounts on one battlenet account. Ohh well I have already gotten used to the prolonged login sequence.

But it will be very annoying if the computer crash during an instance and I have to login in a hurry....
