So since I can't recall who it was, I'll just default to blaming @wipqozn
it's your fault the show is now over! You should've got me interested 10 years ago, not now, dammit!
It must be against the SE rules... Somehow! I'll ban you for that... Don't know when... Don't know how... A sunny day... bursts into tears or something
I'm trying to play BF3 but it won't let me. Whenever I click play it says to update the game, but when I click on update it just brings me back to my Origin application with all my installed games. Nothing shows it needs updating and it all says it is completely up to date. What do I need to do?
I noticed that when I played the piano in the very first town you go to it came up Got better at piano or words to that effect.
So I was just wondering, do you have a 'piano' skill so to speak. I imagine that you will play better songs as you try each piano in each town. Is there any benefit to ...
@mark uh, if that happens then 1. You might as well use a keylogger, since the computer must be active and the mouse used for that to eork and 2. The safety of your Blizzard account suddenly becomes a somewhat minor concern
@wipqozn admitting the problem is half the battle
the other half involves feathers, tar and matches I believe
nah, that episode actually wasn't that awesome. I had better laughs

@QAdp The point of an authenticator is to protect against compromised environments, particularly keyloggers: even if an attacker captures your user name, password, and authenticator code, it'd only work once. If your computer is guaranteed to be uncompromised, the authenticator is unnecessary. If your computer is compromised and you're using Winauth or similar, the authenticator is also compromised
@mark simply use the authenticator before the user does. At any rate, while I do agree on the theory, in practice the plan falls down
either the 'threat model' (big boy words I'm not even sure I know the right meaning of) is a direct attack to you, or attackers will just turn to other people they do have passwords for. 123456 etc
I'm not sure why Blizzard is special in any way here
Steam handles way more delicate matters and the most it bothers to do is one-time email authentication through steam guard
way easier to set up, no hardware needed, no magic required and if somebody steals all your unusuals support will make new ones for you
true - steam's not doing auctions or allowing any money to be made on the service, but still...

It's not Blizzard, it's Winauth. Simple case of Kerckoff's principle. It's trivial to also check for Winauth on a computer you're attempting to keylog for Battle.net credentials and retrieve the restore code for the authenticator. Once you have that and the account credentials (which you got by key logging), you have complete and perpetual access to the account because you have a clone of the authenticator attached to the account
Providing two-step authentication is not indicative of a company sucking. Trying to take shortcuts by using things like Winauth because you can't be bothered to have a separate physical device for authentication is what sucks. You might as well just remove the authenticator from your account, because it's just as secure
do you have authenticators for xbox live or anything? Somebody sniffs your session, they just say the wrong word and you're permabannned till ad 9999 right?
the only steam account hack tale I recall was a direct attack on somebody, social engineering and what not. There have been nasty js injections in steam trading webpages but that's a different thing

@StrixVaria You got guaranteed access to the MoP beta with the pass. So… you play cause pandas
