New Battle.net Dial-In Authenticator Is Here
Blizzard has just announced the release of the newest Battle.net Authenticator, which sets up an additional password for players to log in to their accounts with, in order to protect said accounts. This new contraption would be the Dial-In Authenticator, which offers a free opt-in service that will actively monitor an account and ask for additional authorization from the user when a potentially unauthorized login attempt occurs.
Here’s the word, straight from Blizzard:
“If you sign up for the Battle.net Dial-in Authenticator, you will be asked to make a toll-free phone call from a specific phone of your choosing to authorize unusual login attempts with the associated Battle.net account. Please note that you will only be asked to make this phone call when something about your login attempt appears out of the ordinary. For example, if you were to log in from a location from which you do not typically play, you may be asked to call in and provide your selected PIN and a unique, single-use security code before access to the account will be granted.”
The sign-up and use of the Authenticator is free of charge. It’s a great way to secure your account, so head on over to Blizzard’s official site for more information.
