Battle.NET account + Blizzard Authenticator + today = fail

[Korruptor]

I hope this is just a bug.

This is extremely annoying. I love my battle.net / authenticator setup. However this would make me remove my authenticator if the bug stays in place.

The reason the servers are busy is the note on the log in page that came up after maintenance. I have not logged into Battle.net yet, and I still have not tried the dongle, might after open the box soon

It sucks, and I hope they fix it, but I'll take the security of the authentication over convenience any day.
Let's face it, if a keylogger gets your battlenet password they've got access to all your accounts with no extra work.
Is 1-2 minutes really worth risking all your chars.

I thought this was normal, ever since I received my Authenticator a month ago this is how it worked for me. It would NOT accept the code at the same time on all accounts. I always have to wait for the next code to appear.

Someone in #isboxer petitioned a GM, and the GM instructed him to post in Technical Support, Here's the link: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...33766552&sid=1

I'll try to keep it and Fur's thread up on the first pages. This is incredibly frustrating. And until they fix this. I would NOT merge to a battle.net account.

I don't think this is what anyone here is upset about, what we're upset about is the fact that it's worked 1 way forever (I've been on battle.net accounts using 1 authenticator code since I merged in March) , and now all of a sudden it doesn't work this way anymore, and there was no notice at all.

The move to a proper one-time key is a Good Thing, but to make it more bearable for us, they really do need to improve the authenticator to generate a new code every time it's cycled!

I sent the paste below via the Contact Support function on blizzard.com We'll see if they get back to me. I haven't had good luck with them before, they proved to be pretty terrible last time I had to contact them about an account I couldn't get in game with.

After maintenance yesterday, 10/13/09 I am no longer able to login 5 accounts with 1 authenticator code. Before maintenance I was using 1 authenticator code to login all 5 of my accounts at the same time. Now 1 logs in, 4 fail. I have to wait till I can generate 5 unique authenticator codes. There are threads posted about others having the same issue: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...33766552&sid=1 and also http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...62448559&sid=1 Is this an intended change? Is there any way to revert the back to how it was working before?

Question - Are you guys using the key-fob authenticator (i am) or the iphone application? (or other smart phone).

The application is bnet specific, where the key-fob was before bnet conversions. I'm thinking about switching mine to my iphone and trying that.

Using key-fob here, I don't have a supported phone to test /grumble
