Keep in mind that the authenticator is not 100% safe. Guildie of mine the other day got his account hacked and he has one.

you know, i've never actually talked to anyone who has had their account hacked while using one... its always a friend of mine, or a guildie of mine, or the friend of my uncles pool boy... not saying it didn't happen, just saying that I've never heard that first hand....

Pop into the IRC channel sometime, there are people in there that know exactly how to get around it. Nothing like a bunch of geeks presented with a challenge. You should see the fun they have when they get their teeth into a new virus/trojan/keylogger. *giggle*

[edit]For the record, the reason they know how to get around it is because they were deliberately trying to so they could provide the info to Blizz. I know, since I'm the one that forwarded their findings. Not the first time my wonderful geeks have broken stuff so the info can be passed along to Blizz/other game company/virus scanner companies, etc. <3 my geeks.
