Everyone needs to remember that if you don't have a phone or tablet
you can still get it on your computer
by downloading an appropriate program, check the FAQ.

That said, I tried to do that but its really confusing... so I'm still without the authenticator.
i tried to get the pc version but my virus protection blocks is saying it has viruses i wont get it if my protection blocks it



wow you must be a blonde dude.

Have you ever heard that you can add a program an the "exception list" or "allow list" on your antivirus progam?

Man, let me tell you, that your level of genius astounds me. You wont get it because your virus protection wont let you. LMAO!!!
if its blocked then obviously its not safe im not risking my hard earned computer



Dude Antivirus programs are made by Humans, they are not perfect, not everything that the program blocks its bad. These programs are not bad for you, and if you wont get it, then you will get hacked, and I honestly cant say i care, because you are just full of excuses.

I can understand why this is being added, it's simple if you can use it. I and many of my friends don't have smartphones though and we all rely on JAG, why would you remove it :/ ? Please don't...

Techamp,
You are an entitled, overbearing bully. And someday you will be older, handicapped, in a situation you dont understand, and I do so hope there is someone just like you there to make that diffuculty so much more unbearable.

In the mean time:

I have a problem with the account authenticator. I've download the app which is google authenticator and installed all the things i need to scan the QR code. I don't know how this really suppose to work but it generates a different code
every 20 seconds or so, but everytime when i enter the code in it tells me that the code was incorrect.

I tried a couple of times and it's still telling me it's incorrect. The line below telling me to check the clock on my phone is set to the correct time...what does it mean by that? Do i have to set my clock to UK timezone for it to work? I'm in Australia.


I have exactly the same problem and live in Namibia

The RuneScape Authenticator is easy to set up, and user friendly. And it can also be used to set up through the computer. It was a great idea to set this up. And it makes it a lot harder to hack just by getting the email and ********. Personally I think it was a great idea to come out with this. And if you don't have a smartphone, then you can just as easily just follow the computer setup instructions. I really like this idea, and it makes players accounts a lot safer. I just want to know if you can have more than one account per phone.

What are you downloading and from where? It can also be false positive.

Im a bully because what? I speak the dang truth, yes hes disabled, not my fault, and not an excuse to why he plays the game.

if he cant handle the truth, too bad. ANd who the hell are you to judge me? why don't you and him make a band, and just whine some more.

I have enables the authenticator but don't completely understand it. What is stopping someone from keylogging me, signing in and then scanning the code for themselves?


You only scan the figure once, after that ever 30 sec the code in the app will change, and you will have to put in a new one each time you log in.

even if they keylog you, they cant enter your account;
