It’s been ages since I put it on (had physical one but replaced with smartphone version), the app version is free as well I believe, correct me if I’m wrong.
Honestly, I was worried the battery would die, and I’d get locked out of my account forever, however I just tested it and it still works, after 10 years it still works.
I too have the old style physical authenticator with the SC2 design on it. Also have the smartphone app as backup for the eventuality when the physical one finally dies on me
Great idea for a thread. The amount of players that have returned to the game since the Covid-19 pandemic is huge and as such, the amount of threads on the support forum about hacked accounts have increased too.
I’ve had an authenticator since they first came out in physical form, now on mobile because the battery ran out
Authenticators are fantastic and we’d really like to see more people to start using them. The in-game unlocks are great too, but the real reward is peace of mind as you know your account is safe and secure.
Have you added an authenticator to your account? Why, or why not? :).
