Depends on the slot number, if it add 2-4 slots no i wont, if by adding it the backpack goes up to 30 slots then yes
I've got the authenticator since I had to move a few of my guilds around (nothing nefarious) a couple of years ago.
/shifts eyes around
I decided to keep it since it was nice to have the extra security, and it wasn't too much of nuisance.
If I already didn't have one attached to my account (+sms protect) I actually would. For the pure reason that I am just that cheap to invest gold into buying something trivial like a bag.
But honestly I would have preferred that the original base bag size would've been increased by 10 or so slots, which would have been nice, rather then getting an app for the phone/tablet.
Besides, it's like being able to be in the 1st 3 ranks of a guild - you need an authenticator attached.
Overall beneficial for various safty (everything is hackable, no question), sure - w/o the restore code or sms protect you are fucked if you loose you phone.
That's just my paranoia, but all of my accounts in various places which allow extra security have 2-layer authenticators already.
But that's what the WoW authenticator does? (It does for me.)
I would argue that people spend a lot of money to have a game account, along with a lot of time investment and nostalgia. You lose it all when a goldfarmer/seller hacks into your account and sells everything your character(s) have, even that which you spent real money on, all to make gold and send it to other accounts. Some things can be restored if the account can be retrieved but there will be things that are lost forever. Some might not care, but many do.
The IP pool for north america was exhausted in August 2015. Most of those IPs are for commercial appliances/servers, not for private connections.
Every ISP is supporting v6. World IPv6 day was in 2011. Most are running dual stack. v4 is hanging on life support for a decade now, and will fade into nothingness soon. V6 will be able to assign a static IP to every device/connection (340 sextillions or sth?).

I'm not going to dig you for your phone choices, but WP 8.1 is EOL since June. If you're concerned about security like you say, it might be worth a switch to a supported operating system, since you're not going to get security updates, patches or tech support for your phone from Microsoft.
Also when it comes to athorization, you could check what permissions the app reqiures before complaining. And block the ones you don't want it to have? Or use a operating system that blocks by default and the app has to explicitly ask for permissions (and you can choose to say no)?
Also, I can understand privacy and security concerns - but it seems your threat model is somewhat flawed. Who are you defending against? It seems a bit backwards to skip 2-factor authentication to increase security?

Yeah, that's what it does
Aye, Alright snowflake.
Your "Precious time" is a maximum of 10 seconds when you log in. Which is a hell of a lot less time then it takes to get an account restored if something does happen.
Maybe get over yourself a little bit and realize just how ridiculous you sound.
Seeing as I have had the physical authenticator for about 5 years now I wont have to. I got hacked back in WotLK, so picking up the authenticator was not even a question. These days you can even get it for free for your phone, I dont see why you wouldn't make your account more secure.
I installed the app more than a year ago. Does that count for this extra bag space?
I didn't have one for some time but that was more because Blizz took a while to release it on the Microsoft Store. I do have one now but it IS annoying.. once every few weeks/months it asks me the code again (for some reason) and it usually asks it when trying to go to my Battle.net account online. It should have a "remember this device" setting that assures it never asks for a code (and it should allow multiple devices as I do play WoW on multiple computers here).
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.
Before i got the app I have never been hacked...got the app and got hacked within few months. Got rid of the app, changed email and 3 years later I'm safe. So from it's no, thank you.
gz, u made a thread out of nothing, we need more of those on these forums!
