Software Token for WP8

[Haibel]

They do have a physical token ya know. Bit more expensive than what an app would cost but still fairly cheap. Frankly, I like those more than having to navigate through my phone to find the app.

I have a physical token and a soft token on android. I don't know why people feel the need to discount having SE make a WP8 Token. It's a convenience request. I don't want to carry around this POS android that all I use it for is the token and that's it. the same with the physical token. why carry that around when I have a device that is always with me.

No one cares about Windows Phone. True story.

Android and iOS control >90% of the mobile market. You chose a niche mobile device. That was your choice, made of your own free will. Squenix is not obligated to cater to niche devices. Battle.net Mobile Authenticator is also only for Android and iOS. Same with the Rift and SWTOR apps. Use Android or iOS if you want a mobile authenticator app.

Edit: my mistake, the Battle.net app is also for Blackberry.

WP7.8+ are wonderful devices with very poor/little app support or any support for that matter.
I am a little puzzled as to why SE hasn't released an authenticator for it. I could understand if we were talking about Steam or something along those lines, but, yeah.

For those of you with WP7.8+ there might be an alternative, in the meantime.
You could try using an Android emulator such as Bluestacks and download the app from the Market Place for Android, then run it and follow the setup instructions.
Be sure to save your special code/password in case of an emergency (Typically write it down or save it to an email account that's secured).

This is the way I have my authenticator setup currently. Have since the app became available and haven't had any issues.

Market share doesn't matter. There are more than double the amount of android than iOS in the market, but every app was released for this game on iOS with android as an after thought.

isnt keeping your account secure worth more than just a phone?

This interest me. With this emulator, would I be able to clone it on multiple computers and it act as a single device? If I have to put it on a flash drive for it to work
it would put me right back to what I'm doing now. although this doesn't stop me from wanting the token on WP, it would be a good work around for the time being.

I haven't tried to do that with multiple PC but I would imagine is very possible, since the application uses your Google account as the source to sync.
So as long as you link the same account to each Bluestacks you install, it should generate the proper code each time.
You could also copy&paste the whole installation folder to a Flash drive or simply install it straight to the Flash drive if you wanted to use it as a "Token" of sorts.

I do not think that market share should have anything in common with increasing security.
And to be honest in my country Windows Phone has 20% market share, which is not that uncommon in Europe.
