Diablo® III

So you have to detach your mobile first?? Because when prompt it me the......first and 2nd code from my mobile did not work at all. I was forced to detach.

question, I went to account management page (link above) and said that my mobile authenticator is already updated though I haven't done anything yet, also it was stated that I shouldn't change my security question. Was this intended?

As a precaution.

To test the worth of the secret question/answer, I just changed a password on one of my Microsoft accounts by using only the account associated email address and my secret question/answer. (No email check Ladies and Gentlemen.)

Both of which were compromised according to the 'security update.'

Now, don't get me wrong, I use different login passwords for each and every site I visit. But, secret questions/answers are more or less static for many users.

But, for fear of sounding redundant, I was able to change the password on another one of my online accounts by having only my secret question/answer and the associated email address...

+1

Was also informed by the account management page that my mobile authenticator is already updated, and I don't need to change my security question/answer.

I can't see anywhere in the security/account management to change my secret answer either.

what's 1st auth code and 2nd auth code ??

ok, i just did this, but unfortunately i did not get a new restore code. Now I have the new authenticator on my iPad, but can't get it to work on my iPhone. Anyone has a similar problem? or even better, a solution for this?

Thanks for the heads up Blizzard. :)
Keep up the good work.

As an internet security expert... guess who I think is the weakest link in this process.

no really, guess.

It is just asking you for 2 authentication numbers from the authenticator. Just like if you were to have ask for authenticator code every time you login.

I received a Diablo 3 phishing email today from the address I use on BNET. That has never happened before, so I assume someone got my addresss from the security breach. Fortunately I use an authenticator. I just went through the security update process. No issues with the same email and password on other sites; I don't do that as it is extremely weak security.

It's the user storing information on unsecured systems. ;P

Upon changing my secret Q&A:

Secret Question and Answer secure
Your secret question and answer do not have to be changed.

Uhh but you asked me to change it? And it did? Weird message.

I checked just now it did change. But why does the message with the green check say I didn't have to change it.

It really doesn't matter what "original" security questions are available since you should not be using correct answers for these anyways. Always use enigmatic entries that have nothing to do with the security questions.

I would guess it's just the system's redundancy.

No answer for me so far? Great job Blizzard.

Blizzard asked me to change my authenticator and security questions, when i followed the link, it said that there's nothing needs to be updated???
