My concern is the mobile phone authentication for Guild Wars 2.

Because when the hacker gets your mobile phone address over the ss7 network, they can read your phone authentication from anywhere in the world. Just a thought to think about. And if you don’t know about ss7 network hacking, go look it up. Still, anything is better than being nakid to hackers. But it would be worth considering looking at the security aspect of mobile phone authentication. If you think it’s all tin foil hat rubbish, you’re fooling yourself.
