Comments on: iPhone Authentication is GnOmageddon! http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/03/28/iphone-authentication-is-gnomageddon/ It's the end of the world as you know it - brought to you by a Gnome Mage with big balls of fire Sat, 09 Feb 2013 14:14:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: gnomeaggedon http://gnomeaggedon.net/2009/03/28/iphone-authentication-is-gnomageddon/#comment-2152 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 17:00:36 +0000 http://gnomeaggedon.net/?p=2772#comment-2152 I downloaded, installed and used it as soon as I knew it was available. Part curiosity, Part $ saving and Part security.

I wasn’t sure whether it would work in OZ, but Oceanic are US servers, so that was fine.
I was keen to save the $ on an authenticator, so a free iPhone app sounded great.
Of course I also wanted WoW to be a bit more secure.

The new future… think they are a bit old future, but haven’t really taken off yet.

I think the problem is most likely expense for those site (all sites?) that should be using it.

I would love it if there was a central registry somewhere, that you could
1) Register your (iPhone :-) ) authenticator with, then
2) assign all your logins to that.

I have been using an authenticator with work for years.. so now I have 2.. if there were more apps that used it, it would become authenticator x apps… that isn’t sensible…

Preferably, 1 authentication site, with “Single login”, so once authenticated, all logins from that PC (for that session) are synced.

Still, an extra layer of protection never hurts

more importantly- do you think authenticator codes are the new future in passwords?
