Suggestion: Windows Phone Authenticator App

[Vispor]

Can we please have this app for Windows Phone?

Thanks

I second this. I cant trust my android device (Galaxy note 1) with such a sensitive task as ive had to reset it nearly 10 times. After making a switch to windows phone, ive been having to still hang on to this old android phone mainly for the square enix token app.

Making an app of this kind is no big work (i know because im also a dev) so I dont see why its not developed yet. If it means asking me to do it, let it be so. Just as long as I can use my windows phone for generating tokens.

A community rep responded to a thread identical to this about a month or so ago saying they have no plans to bring this out. Doesn't mean it won't happen later down the road, but for right now y'all are out of luck

Oh, just wanted to warn you that Sanders, the necromancer, is going to be late tonight."

I'm a Windows Phone developer...would gladly work with SE to make this app for Windows Phone if they were interested...I sure hope they hire someone to do it soon...hell I'd do it for free just so all us Windows Phone users could have it

Yes please.

They would never work with the community to make this happen, and there's a very good reason why not too. These authenticators work on the basis of a seeded random number string, so to build an app, you would need to know the algorithm they use. By knowing the algorithm and taking a lucky guess at the seed, you would as a result have the tool required to crack the two factor authentication completely... for anyone's account.

I know this thread is getting old, but I would really, really love a WP8 authenticator for XIV :/ It's not like it would be difficult to do.

I'd like it if I could use the mobile version of the Lodestone in IE on my Windows Phone. >_<

Correct. If this were outsourced, and somebody were to leak the algorithm, they would have to change everything.

The chance of an authenticator being added to WP is slim seeing how minuscule the userbase is, but if enough people request it, it may happen.
