PC Authenticator - A free WoW Authenticator

[[SpNiz]]

It's an authenticator. Just go to the official WoW-page and look it up

This is a great tool, thanks!

What is this? I don't understand D:

Basicly what Spniz said. go to the official wow forums and look it up.

Anyways. An Authenticator is a tool that adds extra security to your battle-net account. It can be in form of hardware, or software like in this case. It's all based on some Algorithm shizzle and stuff Tou actually just add another "password" to your account. A portable(in this case a USB-stick or something) password

My authenticator isn't working anymore. I can't access to my account and I already resettet the data.

What can I do? Help me please

[Deapno]

Chiaki19. You have to send blizzard an email, telling them that you lost your phone and therefore you authenticator. Then they want you to send you some information and voila! The authenticator will then be removed from your account

[Chiaki19]

Yes, I already did.

But: Why is my authenticator code not correct? It is the correct XML with the correct token and I also resettet it. I haven't changed anything.

[Deapno]

well. Did you remember to push "Create Server-Side Backup" when you attached your authenticator at all ? It sounds like it's out of sync

[Chiaki19]

Yeah I made a server side backup and the token etc is 100 % correct.

I also guess it is out of sync. So is there a way to resync it?


Is there a way to decode the token? It seems it it encrypted.

You could try to import your token into FooBMA which has an option to resync.

Hello Sednogmah,

I tried that already but it didn't work. It doesn't work because the token is encrypted with md5 or something. I need to decrypt it before I can use it with your authenticator

That is the string: 9YRzyEZyJc+0UiCz1F91TlkVQ84=

That looks like Base64 encoding. Here's some Python code to turn it into 40 hex characters:

import base64
def base64_to_hex(s):
    return "".join([ "%02x" % ord(x) for x in base64.b64decode(s) ])
print base64_to_hex("9YRzyEZyJc+0UiCz1F91TlkVQ84=")

=> f58473c8467225cfb45220b3d45f754e591543ce

Try that

No, but it wasn't because of this.

Try that

OMG! I love you, Sednogmah

It worked, hooray. I'll be using your authenticator now instead of the other without sync feature

Now I'd advise changing your authenticator if you haven't already since your token is posted out in the open xD

There are more of these around I see

I had developed a native Windows version a while back, so have tidied it up and put in on Google code if anyone is interested. winauth - Project Hosting on Google Code

It is open-source so you can look it over and check there is nothing fishy going on. There is a pre-built exe, but feel free to build it yourself. It auto-refreshes the key as needed, time syncs and encrypts the secret authenticator key with a password - unlike the Mobile Authenticator, which just XORs the data with a hard coded key.

It also can load the key used by the Android Blizzard Mobile authenticator, so I use it as a backup and sometimes more convenient version.
