You also need to make sure to check the "Require an authenticator code every time you log in to the game" option so it will prompt you every log in instead of just once a week
Not particularly necessary, but you can definitely check the option if it makes you feel better or more secure.
It only doesn't ask you if you're on the same machine, same IP, and the file it left last time you logged on with an authenticator is still there.

That has nothing to do with it. That was something someone imagined/made up rather than realize their security wasn't good enough.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Most reports from people I've seen suggest that their computer's security is good so either they are lying/mistaken or there is a flaw in Blizzards security that allows for MitM-type exploits to happen
I got hacked, all my stuff from my level 60 was taken and all of my gold too.
I called Blizzard and they restored my character from about 24 hours before I actually got hacked so I still lost a lot of stuff anyway.
I honestly don't have a clue how I got hacked, the ONLY thing I have installed on this computer is Diablo 3 and Google Chrome, I formatted the same day the game was released.
I only play at home and my computer is very secure, I use a very secure password and I never visit any potentially dangerous websites, unless of course you consider Diablo Fans and Facebook dangerous. I never download anything illegal and NO ONE knows my passwords or ever have.
I have never bought gold from any dodgy websites and I have never bought any items either. I am a very careful person when surfing the internet and would consider myself very good with computers.
I think a lot of people who get hacked are genuinely stupid but in this case I really can't see any way I would have had my account compromised.
Needless to say I have now attached an authenticator but I'm still absolutely baffled as to how I got hacked, it simply doesn't make sense to me.
