Guild Wars 2

So how exactly does the phone authenticator work? Do you have to enter the code from your phone everytime you log in from a different ip or is it you have to enter a code everytime, regardless of the location you are in? My windows phone authenticator doesn’t seem to give the code when I log into my computer.

Good luck. =)

I’ve read it, and it doesn’t say anything about whether or not different ip addresses are associated.

Ok, did you read this helpful thread? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Authenticator-Questions-Concerns-merged/first

Ok, so I tested it out myself. The guild wars 2 mobile authenticator only works when you try to login from a new ip address. If your current ip address is remembered, you wont need guild wars 2 mobile authenticator.

Fantastic! Glad it worked out for you. =)

Has anyone tried to log in and been asked to enter the mobile authenticator code yet you NEVER downloaded it and have never set it up? Could this possibly mean I have been hacked?
