I really don't get why these aren't in every box and mandatory. It seems like they would more than recoup the expense in saved customer service grief.

I'll wait for the app, which will hopefully come soon.

Same. WoW authenticator app served me well.

Going with the physical authenticator, since I don't actually own my phone (my work provides it, and the last thing I want is to not be able to log in to my MMO with my copious unemployed free time if I end up getting fired and having to give the phone back!)

I like that they have an in-game vendor for folks with security keys -- nice little incentive to get people to use (and buy) them.

Why does it say "only on Origin" below the authenticator. Statements like that scare me.

That's how you order it, through the Origin store.

Ordered, seriously should be standard or support a generic hardware token like a yubi key

I'm sure if you wait until the 20th you can get an app for your iphone or android for free.

So someone clue me in - how does one use an app on their phone to verify a login on their PC?

Generates a number key, same as the dongle.

lol, special access to a Security-Key only vendor shop. Wonder how long it'll take for the VIP CE shit to trickle down to that

Yeah the physical key isn't a USB lock, it's a numeric generator like WoW's, however that tech works. I have theories but can't be arsed to look up if I'm right.

The token has a unique seed number that generates a code every 30 sec or 1 minute based on what time it is; the authentication server on the other end knows your seed number as well so it can also generate the same number. Then it just compares them and lets you in if they match.

Ah ok, I was actually thinking it was a dongle system. Still have a parallel port dongle from our software from ten years ago sitting on my desk as a trophy.
"You can't login ma'am? Do you have a printer plugged in to our dongle? Yes? Please remove that and your program should work. What do you mean that's not a satisfactory solution?..."

USB isn't too bad, but the days of parallel ports were rough.

Yeah, with the basic shipping and tax it's a whole nine cents more than I paid for my WoW one three years ago.

Hmm...I guess no one's interested in the entire Security Key store one gets access to when you use an authenticator. WoW gave us, what, a two-headed fire-puppy?

I have no idea what's IN the store, so no, I don't care at the moment.

I mean, don't get me wrong, it's probably a good way to encourage people to get a security thingy, it's just hard to get excited about a store that, for all I know, has low level medpacs on it or something and nothing else.

What.. you mean like the name of the seller being EA Swiss Sarl and not Electronic Arts? That's a subsidiary of EA that does iphone games. Considering iTunes apps have to go through that vetting and registration process I wouldn't be too worried. If it were Android Marketplace only, sure, worry.
