The past few days I have had no trouble logging into the game with the mobile authenticator, nor do i expect problems in the future.
The problem is when I try to log in to the forums. When it asks me for the code, I enter what appears on my mobile, and returns me to the log in page stating I used the wrong password or username. I know this to be untrue though, I know that the problem is with the code and not my credentials.
Since I am using a wi-fi router, which gives a random IP address per connection, there are times when log in does not require a code (IP address already authorized), such as this one.

Additional Info:
I’ve taken it to Support, but they were only quick to reply the first 2 emails.
My PC and mobile time are synced and at most 2 seconds apart.
All legit btw
I’ve read something about it here, and I’ve already used their solution, didn’t work.

Others:
Being unable to log in to the forums is not such a big deal, but I would prefer to have it available at all times.

Do you have a ticket number? I have seen some emails passing by about small issues with access related to authentication. Nothing major, no security issues, but certain elements may be a little wonky. Continue to discuss with Support, but if you want me to check this, please post in the Tickets for Review thread if the issue exceeds 72 hours.

UPDATE:
Since i have been able to log in I tried to change my authenticator (when I failed to remove it). Right now, logging in has not required the use of a code. So, in case i cannot log in some time in the future i’ll put the “ticket number” (i assume this is it) here:
130926-000930
PS: I was raging when I typed it, so, I’m sorry for any offense.
