It’s become apparent to the world that World of Warcraft accounts are actually valuable. The potential to steal gold and items along with destroying characters makes some people paranoid that they will be the next target of a gaming crime. Cue Blizzard taking a leaf out of the book of online banking by creating the Blizzard Authenticator…

The Blizzard Authenticator is designed as a supplemental authentication method for your World of Warcraft account, giving you the security of Two-Factor authentication. Each time you log in using the Blizzard Authenticator you are provided with a unique, one-time use password to use in addition to your regular password. Log in with both and you can rest easy knowing that your account is now even more secure from malicious attacks such as keyloggers and trojans.

I’d get one. Except that I don’t want the guys I game with to see that I think they’re thieving goons with no other objective than to steal my (non-existent in real life) gold. I don’t want to lose my friends that quickly…
