Software Token for WP8

[Bayohne]

Sorry Windows phone users, but we have no plans of releasing a software token for that platform at this time.

Bayohne, I know you're busy but I'm a Windows Phone Developer and I'd gladly develop the app for free. If there is someone I can talk to at SE regarding this please let me know

This is the reason I love programmers!

But I'd say there's no way they'd let you help, because it ties into the core of their account security and it's just too risky to have that rest upon a piece of paper (NDA) with an outside developer.

Perhaps there are licensing issues with Microsoft? I'm work in software localization, not a developer, but I realize sometimes the licensing of apps can be so convoluted people give up on it.

Ok, so everyone knows...all it costs to make an app is a small yearly fee to be a "Windows Phone Developer" (iOS has the same type of fee). The OS "shouldn't" in any way effect a developer's ability to implement their security algorithm. If SE is willing to work with me or another developer it shouldn't take long to create a simple authenticator(Security Token) app, even Blizzard has an authenticator app for Windows Phone. I'm sure they could come up with some sort of NDA (non-disclosure-agreement) that a developer could sign so when square shares the required information regarding the security key the developer can't share it without getting sued.

Honestly we won't know there reasoning behind it unless they come out and say it...that being said I'm willing and I'm sure there are other devs out there who would take the time to make this app to help the Windows Phone community.

I don't think it's about developing itself but about licensing fees / costs related to publish is on MS store comparing to target market.

You mean - that $19 (or $99 without the promo) Square-Enix has to pay yearly?
They do it anyway - published Final Fantasy I and III so the publishing cost is already paid.
