by - 8 years ago

Players will now be able to authenticate a Battle.net login with a single touch from the updated authenticator app, according to a recent announcement. Say goodbye to the days of racing the timer!

As with the last major authenticator update, it’s available for iOS and Android. Read below for details.

Should you wish to use a security code to log in that option still remains available.

Authenticator app single touch update

Whenever* a log in attempt occurs on your account you will be notified via the app and prompted to Approveor Deny the request. You can also approve log in requests with notifications on your mobile or smartwatch without even opening the app! We hope this will help ease the log in process for those of you that already have an authenticator and encourage those of you who don’t to give it a try. You can find out more about authenticators on our Battle.net Authenticator FAQ.

The Mobile Authenticator with the new One-Button feature is available now on iOS® and Android.

*Please note that by default you will only need to approve a log in attempt once a week per device. You can change this setting on your Battle.net Account Management page.
