As long as I can get a physical version I'm all for it. Unfortunately there has never been a software version that works on my cellphone from any company. |

Change phone ... /chriz I don't actually own a cell phone of my own. I have a work supplied Nokia C2, which is perfectly good for calls and text and nothing else. Oh and it has a battery life of 6 days with regular use. Everything a good phone should be :P |

Time and authenticator serial number are the simplest.
We all have the correct time within 30 seconds, and you register your number with CCP.
If your authenticator gets run through the laundry and dead, you can cough up the serial number to get authentication turned off.
Join the New Order, buy your permit today, and follow the code.

i heard authenticators is easily hacked. My brother works at NASA and said NASA used to have it, but they abolished it due of security concerns.
I would take his word on it. The only safe security for any accounts, is keeping password in your brain or in hidden notes that only YOU can find. |

feels good.
I suppose I should prepare myself for the inevitable trolling I'll receive for posting this, but I've been programming computers for over twenty years. I literally started around the age of eight; I was sent a cease and desist letter by Hasbro as an eleven year old for making a Monopoly game and distributing it on BBS'. Point being, I know computers well, and I know the common ways that key loggers and viruses are spread, and I don't use simple passwords by any means. Last year, for the first time, I had my PayPal account hacked because of a key logger. They drained quite a lot of money out of my account (despite it not actually having anything in it) because it was linked to my bank accounts.
In my opinion, if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. We are the other side of Eve...the human side. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=182994 http://www.firesworn.com/index.php?/topic/69-about-firesworn-nation/ |

RSA authenticator tokens have been exploited a thousand times over. The companies that make them spend a whole lot of money trying to stay relevant and making sure you don't find this out.
I very much doubt CCP will ever end up implementing this as it wound up on the chopping block along with incarna and other stupid ideas.
- Use strong passwords. (see: XKCD comic) - don't login to game or eve gate from unsecured PC's - reset your password at the first sign of suspicious activity, and/or every few months - security of the associated email account is important as well. |

The issue isn't the security of any one password, it's reuse of passwords across different sites. If CCP makes it effectively impossible to hack your account, but you used the same password at some site that stored it in clear text, your account has been compromised. The best security is never reusing passwords ever for any reason, but given the number of things the average person has to log into, that's not feasible. Personally, I segment my passwords so each group of sites uses the same password, but high-risk sites don't use the same password as high-value sites.
Multi-factor authentication is woefully underutilized, but there's been some movement in that area lately. It still annoys me that my Battle.Net account is harder to hack than my bank accounts. I'd like to see an authenticator implemented for EVE, but the reality is that there isn't enough financial incentive for Bad PeopleGäó to try to access your account compared to WoW, GW2, etc. Heck, they could just leverage Google's authenticator if they don't want to take the time to roll their own. |
