"*Please note that you cannot use both a Security Token and Software Token simultaneously."

Well, boo. I'm totally undecided at this point.

This really only affects XI players. When you remove the physical token, any new character created doesn't receive a satchel. Really don't see the point of having both unless you never carry a phone.

Which is after maintenance, thx for the clarification though.

I would like to know why the app needs camera control. :confused:

I just liked the idea of having both available in case I lose one or the other :p I'm a big fan of a back-up system to log into my game ^^

Was hoping I could use app when I'm away from home without bringing my token. D:

An advice, do not copy-paste the code sent to your mail to the software or it wont recognize it. It's long so be sure u type it well :)

My first thoughts exactly! I imagine I'll eventually cave and get the software one so I can at least log in to the official forums from work. Assuming work won't block the login screens or anything...

PS. Heya Lumos xD

Yeah I was disappointed that you couldn't use both too :)

Hey Bob!

I stay logged into the forums on my phone. I don't do anything FF on my work computer. :p For now, I'll just continue with the physical token, I think. Can change it if I want to later, but can't change back.

Your backup system is the emergency removal password, log into your account, copy the password somewhere safe and it can be removed in seconds, just done it myself after I flashed a firmware and my backed up data didn't work.

This. I've been doing some poking around online to find some way to have multiple copies of Android apps working and installed separately, but it seems to require some sort of unpacking and altering of coding and then repacking or something. All very technical and easily screwed up and very likely illegal, so I won't be doing any of that, nor do I recommend anyone else do it. I really want it for both of my accounts though so if there's any simpler and safer and legal way to do this, please share!

If you read the eula it does say that decompiling or reverse engineering of the app is prohibited, and this is required to install more than one copy of the app. Unless you can dual boot your phone, then you can have one copy on one installation of Android, and another copy on the other version (this will require a custom kernel and therefore it will void your warranty.)

Yeah, that's why I said it'd be illegal and asking if there was another way. I also wouldn't trust myself not to brick my phone by playing with its root settings like dual booting. There should be an Android version of Sandboxie or something for instancing programs, but ah well, guess not.

I really wish they'd implemented an optional in-app account association that you could log out of if you wanted so you could attach several accounts to the same app if you so chose. They must realise plenty of people have multiple accounts and that plenty of families who play together share a single phone.

Well that's rather weak. I had sort of thought it'd work in a similar fashion to HSBC secure keys and Blizzard authenticators.

With those when you download the app you can enter the unique serial code on your token and you're instantly golden.

If you don't have one then it'll generate a serial code for you.

that way you could use both seamlessly because they both generated the same codes.

Well it's not technically illegal, there is nothing wrong with decompiling apks, but when we registered the token we agreed not to decompile it, so I'll stick by that.

There are a couple of other ways though, if you have a 4.2 based firmware at least on a tablet you will have multi user, and each user has it's own app data profiles. The only current 4.2 devices are Nexus and custom firmware though. If you are rooted you can also use Titanium Backup to create multiple profiles for the app, but as I said this requires a rooted phone.
