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.
I think I read somewhere that the dial-in authenticator was a huge fail mainly because of keyloggers that included a kind of ssh (or whatever) tunnel that allowed hackers to log-in as if they were physically using the hacked computer. So if this is exact, I guess the same issue will soon be raised with this new system. I can trust them to be imaginative enough to find a way to exploit this
