[edit so everyone can see]
To keep the pet, you must keep the authenticator on your account!
Hello guys.
so, now on patch 3.3, blizz is sending Core Hound Pups to those who have an Battle.net Authenticator attached to their account. Easy enough for those who can afford one or have a cellphone to use their app... but who doesn't?
Not a problem!
hop on Nihilum - World of Warcraft, and as this news say, you can send them an email so you can test their desktop authenticator. it's some kind of cellphone emulator that executes the authenticator app, and can be used like the mobile, except on your desktop
[edit] you can download it directly from here: http://wiki.nihilum.eu/DAuth.exe
simple and fast, and a free pet without having to spend a dime
you CAN use the authenticator like a normal one, but if your computer die and/or you have to format your disk, you're screwed because you lose your authenticator and can't generate more codes, ever. so your account is pretty much lost until you call blizzard and explain the situtation to them, so it's suggested to remove the authenticator
enjoy!
[edit] thx to crid:
How to Remove:
Go to: https://us.battle.net/account/manage...enticator.html
Log In, Enter Current Authenticator Code. Go to Remove Authenticator. If the authenticator is still showing the code you entered to log in wait for a new one to appear. Enter the new Code into the First box and wait 30 seconds. Enter the New Code in the Second Box and Done Authenticator removed
[edit2] according to some people the pet is removed as well after the removal of the authenticator, só do as CimSlunt said:
Ok for all of you wanting to remove the authenticator, Make sure you remove BEFORE opening the ingame mail, opening before removing will remove your hound pup spell from the pets tab.
So add authenticator.
Go in game and check if the mail is there DONT OPEN!
Logout of game and remove authenticator.
Profit.
