Went to log into my 5 toons and only the first required an authenticator code, the others logged right in without one. I repro this at will. Was there a change in how the authenticator works?
Authenticator change?

very cool change
I’m really hoping we’ll be able to opt out of this “intelligent” system.
Hmm, I might start using authenticator again.
I got sick of entering fives different codes each time I wanted to play...or after a disconnect.
What is the problem with it not asking unless you play on different machines?
I just don't trust "intelligent" systems. The dial-in authenticator was supposed to be a great alternative to a
physical authenticator but that was a whole lot of fail. I'm not sure why China won't be able to spoof
something such as a computer hardware ID in addition to an IP -- All of that information is still stored directly
on your computer where the key logger you've unknowingly downloaded resides and is gathering your
information.
I separated my BNet accounts back in the day so I only require 1 code to log everything in at once and having
my authenticators enabled at all times would make me and my virtual goods feel safer.
Why opt out? It marks your computer as being safe. If a hacker uses even IP masking its still missing your computer ID to make it safe. I know this cause my laptop is on the same IP as my desktop when I'm at home and I still needed to enter the authenticator the first time on it after I cleared it on my desktop. Now hackers can't use keyloggers to use your authenticator.
Woot! Woot! Woot! Yay! Woohoo! Awesome! Yeh! :-)
