All I said is that the attachment of an authenticator increases the level of security - it does not make your account bulletproof.
The method that hackers have been used has been 'comboing' and therefore consists of alot of different combinations between e-mails and the hacked passwords from the websites. When they get a hit with an authenticator, they will simply meet a brick wall. When they get a hit without an authenticator, it's a jackpot.
I personally think the only reason that no one with an authenticator have had their accounts compromised is solely related to the method used by the hackers. The authenticator simply stops them at the finish line, so to speak.
That still does not make the authenticator a god-given tool. It's great, I must admit and I use it myself. I just want to get rid of the statement that "if you have an authenticator you're safe". The correct statement is that you are more safe.
Of course, you are very much correct. Just felt I had to point it out, to avoid any confusion :Thumbs Up:
And then you get hacked even with an authenticator ^^
no you don't. obvi you have no idea how an authenticator works, bro.
You can still be hacked even with an authenticator attached to the account. The risk is smaller and most hackers presumably simply cba when they can just hack someone without 'em, but that doesn't remove the risk completely.
On-topic: I use different self-generated passwords for every account I have in any game or forum... it can be annoying to remember 11 different passwords, but I prefer it that way.
I'm pretty sure Blizzard has mentioned on multiple occasions that, so far, none of the compromised accounts have had authenticators attached to them.
The majority of you posting your complaints about D3 are complete assholes.
You have no common sense, you are anti-social, communication impaired jerks who have spent their lives without any semblance of proper behavior.
Maybe the majority of you are autistic, maybe you have aspergers; I don't know.
talk about being a jerk...
The truth burns, doesn't it?
i didnt say i agree or disagree with the complaints and dont really care what others think about the game, but if you are going to call others a jerk you might not want to act like one
What I and most other people on this planet have in common is that we're all jerks.
Oh a serious note, if you use LastPass (free for desktop, $1 a month to use it on mobile devices) you can have high entropy, lengthy, random passwords that are unique to every site you visit and you don't need to worry about one site's login compromising another's.
True.
But then, getting a virus on your computer becomes that much more of a problem.
The reason for all the hacks going is that a new major game was just released. Hackers aren't complete brainless morons, when a new game is released they increase their efforts because they know that this is the time when there are the most amount of vulnerable accounts.
Agreed that there should be a way to make games for Whimsyshire runs. Should also be a way to make a sort of "free" game, where you can just be social, hang around, trade, etc.

Because really, the "math" skills it takes to convert 12-hour to 24-hour time... Yeah... Pretty sure we learned that sometime in third grade.
EDIT: Oh, so the timezones are the problem? Then I apologize, thought it was about AM/PM:D

Now, I can admit to being a jerk. Can you?
