    Well... hopefully the phone based authentication gets much more secure soon.

    The one where if you try to log in from a different IP address...
    You have to call in with a code that is sent to your phone, or that you access from your fixed phone number.

    Once that is secure and working properly, it has to be the best for boxing.
    No codes to ever bother with, when playing from home.
    The ability to play on another IP (say laptop, while on a business trip).
    But still have security on the account.

    Too bad this doesn't seem too secure yet.

    I used the phone app authenticator since it was introduced. never been hacked while using them. I was really happy when they announced the above new authentication method, no need to enter anything. I switched my account as well as my son's account. Four days or so and my son's account was hacked. Switched back to iphone authenticators, iphone authenticators have always kept my accounts free from hacks.
