This is a nice feature but could you add it to Runescape Classic please? We care about our accounts too!!

I'm not sure if Jagex will do this since they do not support RS Classic. Reason why is because they are focusing more on Rs3 and OSRS, therefore there aren't any updates and there are a ton of bots on RS Classic :/

I have a few questions about this authenticator I really like the idea of it but. Why does Runescape allow you to enter any of the random 6 digit codes in to log in? I went to log in to runescape and the 6 digit code was required. But 5 minutes later I checked my phone and entered in the code and it still let me log in? Shouldnt it be only 1 of the codes in a certain time frame?

Reposted from another game site and I quote: "As the players have said above in a rather inflammatory manner (to be frank, it makes me frown), the purpose of the authenticator is for it to be off your PC and not on it. However, these authenticators are open source and hence there'd be no way for the developer himself to gather the account information without it being obvious in his code. However, if a hacker gets hold of the XML file these programs use, your authenticator is basically useless." end quote.

I like many others, do not own a mobile phone device nor do I want to fire up a second computer to log into 'Scape. If Jagex ends the JAG system, I'll have to take the risk as we all did before JAG was introduced, as I will not be using this "new" open source authenticator. Thanks Jagex

My own post is yet another complaint against this new system, just so that Jagex gets the message.

I myself do not own a smartphone, and neither do my two brothers. We are fortunate to have more than one computer, but without a smartphone, how are we supposed to play away from home?

Let's say i'm in the library, and I've been reading for like four hours straight. Normally, I would just hop on one of the computers, authenticate it for maybe an hour, and take a short break by playing runescape. Now, however, I am unable to do that because I have no smartphone.

Finally, gone are the days where my brothers and I could play runescape together away from home. Say for example, we are visiting our familiars in a different state, and they happen to have more than one computer. We won't be able to play runescape because the app for authentication is thousands of miles away!

You do know that this is an optional feature, right?
