Blizzard Authenticator 12+

Heres the deal: if you BNet account is valuable to you, and theres a chance someone could get into you account, you can use this super simple app that, believ it or not, is even simpler than Steam mobile auth. Even though a BNet account is nowhere bear as valuable as most Steam accounts, this app is still a nice precaution to have, and is easy to use and set up.

The app works as intended. However, every month or so, Blizzard has issues with their authentication servers for World of Warcraft. Players with an authenticator attached to their accounts are unable to login to either the Legion mobile app and/or their main World of Warcraft account. I do not know if this has affected Overwatch, Destiny 2, or Blizzard's other games. The issue is usually resolved within 12 hours, but it is frustrating to wait.

This app will prevent someone else from logging onto your account. It will not protect you from being unable to log on to your own account if Blizzard has internal authentication issues (again). The benefits outweigh the risks. Just be aware this app will occasionally backfire and prevent you from playing.

Obviously, the authenticator does what it needs to.. Authenticates. But after sooo many years, blizzard had not developed a mobile app for messaging friends on the battle net client??? This would be such an easy feature to add since this is already linked to your account, but yet it hasn't been done. Riot did it YEARS ago and it got an amazing response. Blizzard needs to step it up, this project should take no longer than a week.
