WTS Spare Blizzard Authenticator

You don't need any form of internet connection for the authenticator. Not sure how it works exactly, but you just push the button and insert the code it generates.

Also, by activating the authenticator, you get a free in-game Core Hound Pup pet.

But how does the game know what code the authenticator has generated? It needs some way to talk with the game, does it plug in to a USB slot?

the game doesnt have any connection to the authenticator - its jsut like the authenticators banks give out for onlkine banking.

Their server knows what a valid code at any given time is, and the authenticator generates one.

It has to, otherwise how is it secure. If what you say is true then any authenticator will work with any account.

They can only be associated with any number of Battle.net accounts at a time, but they will work with whatever accounts they are associated with at that time, they will not show you the auth number for another account.

You link them to the account by typing in the serial number on the back of the device.

Now stop asking questions and buy the device already

I don't want it, I just don't understand how people can say it does anything without being connected in any way to the game. How else is it supposed to work?

look it up phantom.

each device uses its serial number to generate a rolling encrypted code that changes ever set amount of time.

You tie this serial number to your account and then you need the code from the authenticator to log in.

@ Phant - All I know is that it works and I want to sell my spare one :P. Are you interested?

@ Everyone else - Anyone else interested?
