I am against this update. I am not buying a new phone so that I can continue to keep my account safe. I'd rather drop my membership and stop playing. I love this game! My hours played (more then I'm going to admit to on here) show that. But I have the right to have my account kept safe, if that feature is being provided. It should not be provided just for a few of my fellow rs-ers but for all of us. Let us keep JAG! Or switch to something we all will be able to benefit from, Please!

This update is good to add another layer is account safety. My request would be to Keep JAG around as most of the community use that as their main safety, and if you do not have a smart phone, you are limited to only using your home computer.

Watch someone make an app called "jagex authenticator" that steals your details and hacks all the people that use it.

Authenticator is forcing people to use software not developed by jagex and therefor takes security out of jagex' hands.

And it's clear the reason Jagex are removing JAG (without a poll) is because JAG requires more money and time to run therefor they're vindicated (just as they were with EOC & SOF) to install an untested update without much warning and stuff over a good part of the community.

It's also interesting to see jagex are also ignoring the people with genuine concerns.

Notice that the people who can't afford a smartphone probably can't afford to buy spins either (or buy membership with bonds) therefor they no longer matter.

Please check the time on your phone is set correctly. It's not related to time zones, probably just that your phone is a few minutes out compared to the current time.

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.

Heres my worry, if we always have to scan this code then what happens if our phone breaks down, my phone broke before and it took quite some time to get it fixed cause you have to send it off, get the problem fixed, get it sent back and hope it works so if we lose our phone or it breaks then what, we'd be locked out. I for one agree JAG is much better then this, its questions that no one would be able to guess and i think its a much better system then being like everything else and needing a smartphone to log in.
