Authenticator question

Q u o t e:
Okay I have a authenticator on my account as of right now. I was just wondering is it possible to remove it from my account , then re apply the same authenticator in like a week or so. Or would I have to buy a new authenticator. Just wondering

While it is possible to remove the authenticator and add it again at a later time, doing so can place the security of the account at risk, Tretett.

If you decide to remove the authenticator, you may wish to thoroughly scan your computer for malicious software before doing so.
