Authenticator Recovery (take steps before you need it!)
Elapsed — Thu, 04/18/2013 - 17:52
So I have now encountered nearly a dozen people (including Garreth) who don't understand that you can easily set up you battle.net account so that if you lose your authenticator, or switch phones and never saved the codes for your mobile authenticator somewhere, you can have it QUITE EASILY REMOVED from your account.
All you need is a textable cell phone number! And if you've used the mobile Armory you more than likely have to proper tools in place. But PLEASE for the love of god, Even if you aren't playing wow right now. Take a few minutes, Look this tutorial over and protect yourself. Save yourself the trouble of calling blizz tech support and waiting on hold for 45 mins!
DO THIS NOW! PLEASE!
