Using two part authentication works really well in Blizzard's line of games. No one that uses an authenticator has been publicly proven to have had their accounts compromised (lots of folks that have lied about having one though and been hilariously called out by Blizzard GMs). Of course with nearly ten million subscribers to World of Warcraft and several million other players in Diablo 3 there is a huge market for currency and items sourced from stolen accounts. I wonder how large an issue this is in Eve Online.
Either way as a user of an authenticator in my Blizzard games I'd happily support two part authentication in Eve Online, even if it was a just a simple E-Mail code sent to you when you try to log-in through an unfamiliar IP Address and such.
You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. |

His post made perfect sense, but if we're being idiots in this thread... you have poor hygiene and dress in a shabby manner.

That would depend on how frequently Eve-Online accounts are stolen. Up to Screegs really.

Of course stealing banking information is a felony in most countries while stealing an Eve Online account isn't. Having a little extra security on something you value that has no real criminal repercussions isn't a bad idea. The value of stolen WoW accounts is the reason Blizzard sells authentication fobs at a loss and provides free authenticators for smart phones. They can't prosecute account thieves and the customer service costs of dealing with stolen accounts is far more than the price of fobs.
Its even worse in Eve Online as a compromised account can not only result in a loss of ISK and assets but could jeopardize the gameplay and assets of hundred or thousands of other people in the case of corporation CEOs and alliance executors.

The recent hilarity involving the huge number of people having their Diablo 3 accounts stolen shows our PCs are not secure and no amount of self-assurance will change that. Using two part authentication moves one factor out of the hands of account thieves and puts it somewhere they can't get it without outright mugging or robbing you. Both of which are real crimes in most nations.
Edit: Captcha is a ****** solution, physical authenticators you carry on you are a good solution. Heck CCP could use the same VASCO Digi-Pass authenticators that Blizzard uses and save a bunch of money.
