I forgot the answer to my secret question, since my account was made 4 years ago and I haven't needed to use the answer to the question until now. I still have my original CD key to the account and all the information. i was wondering if I can recover it without using that form you need to fax to blizzard.

Q u o t e:
Is the authentication key the original CD key to the account?

They should be the one and the same :)

It should say something along the lines of World of Warcraft Standard Edition North American Authentication Key. Very long and boring, but descriptive enough to tell it apart from the others!
