One time password Authenticator - Mobile App?

Hello :)

This is just a general idea i've picked up from the Battle.net mobile authenticator app
(Haters gonna hate WoW so sod off and troll somewhere else your input is neither needed nor appreciated)

I think something like this would be rather nifty for our Square-Enix accounts i'm not to sure about the rest of you but i lost mine once and it was a serious pain in the arse to cancel it via the phone - And there is always the possiblity of the fob running out of battery power, i think a mobile phone Authenticator app would be a good move for SE as 99.99% of us always have our phone on / near our persons.

Sorry if a thread like this already exsits... SE are always banging on about extra protection for our FFXI / FFXIV accounts and i just thought that maybe this could be doable :)

Post up what you guys think, Good idea, Bad idea ?

Thanks :D

This is what the iPhone / Android version of the Battle.net authentication app looks like

Haha i just had this feeling people would just be negative because it's battle.net - The thread isn't about WoW just the general idea of a one time password mobile app

yes i've been asking this since release! You can search for it in this very general forums!

Nah I wasn't saying that because its WoW, or battlenet.. just cause it was the only bolded words lol.. but I do agree it would be a good addition, but SE likes to make money off those tokens.. but would be a good move to make tokens more accessible via mobile app.

The problem i have with this idea is that when your phone needs to be restored or that somehow you lose your app, you have to go through hell in order to get access to your account again. Happened to me twice in WOW and i never used this app again, i rather be hacked. Unless they make it so that this won't happen in XIV, make it that you can use your e-mail account to reset that app or something, i don't want it.

I've been wanting one of these since launch, and I'm sure countless others have been as well. As much as I love the giant thing of plastic on my keys, I misplace those much much much (emphasis on much) more often than my phone.

The phone that is able to download an app is by definition online and therefore can be hacked/compromised/etc. Your keychain can't.

Never underestimate the security of an air gap.
