Upgrade Your Account Security with the Battle.net Authenticator

Secure your account by adding the Battle.net Authenticator—now available with the Battle.net App— along with Battle.net Phone Notifications to your account. By adding both to your account, you’ll also unlock four extra bag slots —account-wide—in each character’s main backpack in World of Warcraft.

The old auth app will be deprecated in time, so it’s a good idea to activate it in the Battle.net App if you have it installed already. Our article has more information and links to how to activate it in the Bnet App.

Similar article as before (Back in… 2018!) BUT with the notice regarding the move from a separate authenticator app to incorporating it into the Battle.net app. It also reminds people who haven’t set up protection that they get a few more bag slots and a Core Hound Pup if they get it set up. Both good things.

Just tap your avatar in the top left corner, and it will open up options like, “My Profile, Authenticator, Account Settings, App Settings, Notification Settings,” etc.

Physical authenticators should still work fine if you have one attached.
