I think something like this would be rather nifty for our Square-Enix accounts i'm not to sure about the rest of you but i lost mine once and it was a serious pain in the arse to cancel it via the phone - And there is always the possiblity of the fob running out of battery power, i think a mobile phone Authenticator app would be a good move for SE as 99.99% of us always have our phone on / near our persons.

Sorry if a thread like this already exsits... SE are always banging on about extra protection for our FFXI / FFXIV accounts and i just thought that maybe this could be doable

Post up what you guys think, Good idea, Bad idea ?

Thanks

This is what the iPhone / Android version of the Battle.net authentication app looks like
The problem i have with this idea is that when your phone needs to be restored or that somehow you lose your app, you have to go through hell in order to get access to your account again. Happened to me twice in WOW and i never used this app again, i rather be hacked. Unless they make it so that this won't happen in XIV, make it that you can use your e-mail account to reset that app or something, i don't want it.
