Hey MrSmiley,
 
Can you bring this up with some?
 
About winauth, you guys link the google code site, but take note of this notice on the google site:
 
Notice about binary distributions on Google Code
Google code has changed their policy with regard to downloads so all future pre-built downloads will be available at WinAuth.com
 
It might be better to change the link on the support site to winauth.com to avoid spreading around older versions and possibly end up with broken and outdated links!!

BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR KEY SEED (that string of characters) when you bind it.

Phones? We don't need no steenking phones! I went with WinAuth for the PC because Sprint (my provider) and the Galaxy Note II (my Android) can occasionally mishandle downloaded apps. And with WinAuth you have the option of adding a 3rd level of verification by adding password access to the authenticator login. So the log in process becomes:
Log into the game.	Log into the authenticator.	Enter the authenticator-generated 6-digit code into the game's 2-Step Verification number pad.
Awesomesauce
Install WinAuth on one of these: https://www.google.com/#q=USB+flash+drives. Works like a key fob authenticator, just requires the additional step of physically plugging it into a USB port every time you use it. Thus with the WinAuth login password also enabled, flash drive authentication buffs the original 2-Step Verification into 4-Step Verification. Perps need to physically be at the target's computer and manually inserting the flash drive into a USB port to even have a chance. This is also safer than phones because phones can get hacked too.
 
Plus, having passwords in a file on the thumb drive means you don't have to memorize them. So they can be as complicated as you want. Simply copy and paste - which pisses off keyloggers because there are no keystrokes for them to log other than <Ctrl><c> and <Ctrl><v>. To seal the deal, remove the thumb drive from the PC USB port after you've reached your character select screen. Once set up, the whole authentication process takes less than a minute.
 
Also:
In Turn Windows features on or off: uncheck both "TELNET Client" and "TELNET Server".
In System Protection > System Properties > Remote > Remote Assistance: uncheck "Allow Remote Assistance Connections to this computer".
In System Protection > System Properties > Remote > Remote Desktop: select "Don't allow connections to this computer".
There is no such thing as unhackable. But this is probably as close as we end users can get to it.
 
PRO TIP: WHEN SETTING UP 2-STEP VERIFICATION, SAFELY STORE THE SECRET CODE YOU COPY INTO YOUR AUTHENTICATOR APP BEFORE CLICKING CONTINUE! If something happens to your authenticator (i.e. it no longer generates the 6-digit code) and you are forced to deactivate 2-Step Verification to reset the process, you will need that code. If you do not have that code, it may take weeks to get a new one. I completed this CS exercise ... you REALLY need to save your code. :wacko:
 
It's great to see so many active 2-Step proponents.
