Android/iPhone Authenticator Application

[Naqaj]

do other games already have this?

Blizzard and Trion are using them already, some games still in development have announced they will support them, others already out are looking into supporting those as well.

But... but the security of personal information on a cell phone is nearly nonexistent...

Even if you secure it, if you like FFXIV enough to download your confirmation token to a phone, then you probably like it enough to download other applications for the game - which means that all it will take is one fraudulent jackass to trojan horse it off you.

Idk if SE'd be willing to open another hole that might lead to them getting more angry phone calls and fixing more hacked accounts.

The way these authenticators work a trojan can't really do anything harmful, that's exactly the point of using them.
