According to a new Battle.net support page (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=26109), there will be a new Blizzard Authenticator app for your mobile phone which will generate a code just like the physical authenticator does. The page is sparse on exactly what phones and mobile devices will be supported, but it does mention that it works with the iPod Touch and iPhone.
According to the webpage, you only need a WiFi connection once to activate the authenticator application, and after that you're all set.
This comes right after the transition of the EU World of Warcraft account management to the new Battle.net account management (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/19/battle-net-accounts-coming-to-the-eu/). The US transition is not complete yet, and there has been no official world from Blizzard (however all their webpages have already changed over).
The app is not available for download yet via Blizzard or from the Apple store. But we'll let you know the second it goes up!
You can read the full FAQ after the break, or check out the Blizzard Support article (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=26109).Continue reading Authenticator app coming to iPhones, iPods, and other mobile devices (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/03/19/authenticator-app-coming-to-iphones-ipods-and-other-mobile-dev/)
