Ages ago, when I first started multi-boxing, I chose to go the separate BNet account route so I could log on in parallel, have multiple accounts on a single authenticator etc.

A couple of years back, when Blizzard decided to go with one Bnet account-one authenticator, they grandfathered all the existing multiple account-one authenticator set ups so I just ignored the change.

With the recent authenticator reset due to their poor security, however, I now find myself having to deal with the situation - or being unable to access my accounts through battle.net. By resetting & restoring the old serial number I can at least get the authenticator off my accounts, but Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, won't even allow multiple BNet accounts to use the same phone number for SMS.

All this led me to wondering WDOMBD (what do other multi-boxers do)? How do others handle additional security or does everyone else have all their accounts under a single BNet?

PS: before someone says use multiple authentication tokens, let me add that I had the button on three of them break before moving to a mobile authenticator, so going back to that is not my favourite idea.

PPS: Raising this with Blizzard eventually got me this gem.

Well thats a weird little issue you have, we changed the functionality in that you can only have one authenticator per battle.net account about 2 years ago..If some how your authenticator was not affected by this, remove it before you update it.

If you put mobile alerts on your account, you will be able to remove this through the website by a simple text in the future. You can find more info on that here: <http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/battlenet-sms-protect>
