And one screw-up and you have to beat whoever or whatever it is in fixing the problem, Atleast this way you know for a 100% fact nothing will happen.
Don't be so sure it will NEVER ever happen to you.

I'd get one also if I could ^^ money well spent by the looks of it.

Anyone know what the delay time is for when you have to enter a new code? To put into context, the OP had his 5 accounts use the same code with no problem. I assume he did this to all accounts pretty close time wise. I wonder how long one would have to wait before the other accounts would have needed a new code?

I use Keyclone, so when I type in the code number, With the Override, AKA mute turned off, it enters the code into each box simultaneously then I just hit enter and
bang I’m online and ready to play.

I have noticed a time of about 10 to 20 seconds before the code changes, this may or may not be right but id "Assume" that you have the same code
for a very short period of time probably not to exceed say what, 20 seconds or so? but have not really cared or had reason to test it more than
just now reading your post :-)

and even if your using hardware for Multi-Boxing, you type in the same code all at once
so you should be fine

I believe it's something like 30 seconds.

All you really have to do is log into each account and sit on the "enter code" screen. Turn on your repeater, enter the code once, and you're done.

Thanks you've answered what I was wondering. So as long as I log in within the time it automatically changes (30 seconds), then I'm golden.

I'm jealous.. they're always sold out so I still don't have one

ive had my authenticator for a many years now
its my brain. dont goto dodgy websites and have common sence and you wont have a problem.

Hi.

If you didn't know... its 2008 now. There are new and improved Viruses and Trojans that inhabit normal, everyday websites. Some are even in flash videos now. You ever visit youtube?

People are getting better and better at stealing information. If you want your computer to be "safe", unplug it from the fucking internet... permanently. If you really think otherwise... you're only lying to yourself.

And companies are making huge profits off of scare tactics.

Just be smart out on the web and you are chill.

This is just another way WoW is covering their ass from lawsuits. I wonder what will happen to all the people that don't buy one of these nifty gadgets. :thumbsup:

The same that has always been.

You'll have to wait for account administration to verify that your account was compromised, then a week or two for a item restoration specialist to try and get you all your stuff back. If the hackers did a character transfer, you'll also have to wait to get that reversed, and if they issued a chargeback on the credit card used to transfer the character then you'll have to wait some more time for billing to catch up to the fact that your account was compromised as well. Some things (like enchants) might not even make it through the restoration. Restorations are never guaranteed.

Keep in mind -- with or without the authenticator -- you own NONE of the virtual goods. If you get hacked blizzard doesn't even HAVE to help you get your items back -- YOU were the one who compromised the account. YOU are in charge of the account security. So the fact that they do anything AT ALL is amazing. You can't sue them for your account because, according to the ToU/Eula, you didn't own anything anyway. You just leased the account from Blizzard. It "has no monetary value". There can't be a lawsuit, because Blizzard isn't in charge of your account security -- you are. There can't be a lawsuit, because your account has no real-world monetary value (at least according to Blizz).

The question is: is $6.50 worth the trouble? To me it is. To others it might not be. It's personal choice whether you want the added security or if you think it's a hindrance.

To me, my authenticator is priceless. If my account were ever seriously compromised I would consider quitting the game. That is why I've purchased one.
