Can't buy authenticator

#0 - April 26, 2010, 10:51 a.m.

Hey Blizzard,

I've checked the Blizzard store and where I live (Hong Kong) isn't one of the listed destinations that you can ship to. I know it's not on the list of supported countries, but I can't read the local language. Is there any way I can buy authenticators? My friend's account was hacked this morning and I'm getting rather paranoid.

I've got 2 Battle.net accounts and also wanted to get an extra authenticator for my younger brother, as he doesn't have a credit card. The store doesn't let me buy more than 2 of them at once, though - should I just pay for him through his account the next time he visits, or is there a way for me to gift it to him through the Blizzard store?

Thanks for any help.

First off, the advice Mysticell provided is 100% correct. You're able to link your Authenticator to both Battle.net accounts; you truly only need one Authenticator in this particular case. If you wanted to buy a third (or even a fourth) you could try to purchase the additional Authenticators using your second Battle.net account.

Also, if you have any friends who speak the local language, you may want to inquire about their assistance in reading and purchasing from the local Blizzard Store. This will allow you to make the purchases without having to pay more money to have them shipped internationally. Unfortunately, you will be unable to "gift" the Authenticator via the Blizzard Store; however, you're welcome to make a purchase and change the shipping destination to match your brother's address. :)
