iOS/WP7/Android authenticator?

SE isn't going to spend the money on a cell phone application for a game that has maybe 100k subscribers it just cost them more money. Just look how little content we are getting in updates. You think they want to spend the money for a security company to develop a new application ?

Yes, because the app is not for FFXI. It is for your SE account, which is used for a myriad of other things besides signing into FFXI, and effects millions of customers.

They have interest in doing a smart phone app for XIV 2.0, so it's not too much of a stretch to think they could do an authenticator app for them also to cover SE Accounts.

It is always a stretch to assume that something being done for FFXIV (or FFXIV v2.0) is somehow going to be considered for FFXI. SE is not known for making backwards-compatible products.
