There for a moment I thought I was going to be forced to give up my physical authenticator…even though its been working just fine all these years. So this notation is welcome news for me, at least until mine fizzles out.
You do want to consider migrating before it dies. It’s a pain to do so after. When it’s dead you can’t get in to make the change, and have to petition to have it removed.
My key fob authenticator died last week, after many, many years. Resuscitations did not work.
Battlenet instructed me to get the mobile app. It was very clear that there were two, and I needed the most recent. The older one, which I had, directed me to the new one, as well.
I downloaded the new one, got a text code on my phone and was set up in a couple minutes.
Overall this was a fast simple transition. I expected it to be a hassle, but it was clear what to do and took only a few minutes.
