New Blizzard authenticator does away with codes
Keep your s safe the lazy way.
Two-factor authentication isn't the sexiest topic, but it's pretty darn important in keeping your precious gaming s safe. With its new, one-button authenticator app, Blizzard has made the process easier than ever before.
I like the idea of extra security, but I deeply resent having to find, tap in, get wrong and re-enter a code each time I . The One-Button Authenticator ditches the code. The app simply asks you to approve or deny the request with the press of a button.
Valve is also on a big security drive with Steam Guard, and simplifying the process like this might help its cause.
If you're a traditionalist (or don't have a compatible Android or iOS device), you can opt to continue entering a code via Battle.net Management.
