One time password Authenticator - Mobile App?

[Jinko]

That's nice. You still won't get far with one single-use pass without the serial number and the algorithm used to generate the code. Chances are if you get such a virus, you've been doing something wrong.

Hmm ?? You were talking about login and password nothing about authenticator (do I have to quote you or can you not remember what you typed?), its pretty obvious they can't steal an account if they don't have the one time password lol...

Read the rest of the thread and you'll see that he's talking about the guy who claims that mobile authenticators are useless because the phone is connected to a network near full-time.

Yea and as I said show me a case of Blizzard running into issues because of this, the password only lasts for a matter of 10 second, so even if the one time password was transmitting over the internet the person on the other end would have to log in with 10-15 seconds making it almost impossible.

Also when the hacker logged into the account it would kick the other person out, then that person would relog kicking him out, its not quite that simple.

Plus there is fine line between being security concious and completely paranoid.

No, you simply took a small part of my post out of context. Read the whole damn thing and read the post I was responding to, you'll see that the other person was talking about a user putting in their one time use, time sensitive code along with the rest of their info, getting hacked in the process.

You do realize that neither Delsus or I have said anything about Blizz's app being insecure, right? Gogdamn you're dense.
