How did u do it??!! I entered codes for two hours using winauth and I couldn't do it.


I got winauth up and running and opened the runescape page as in the forum link I pasted and chose the option not got a code or what ever it was on the runescape page
anyway I got to the page on runescape where i had to type in a code.

I resized the page and win auth so I could see them both.

I clicked in runescape page so I was ready to type the numbers

I watched the win auth cycle so I would get numbers at start of cycle. note you don't have the space between the numbers

I typed in the numbers quickly and i think I clicked either enter or the button to submit it (trying to remember here)
this then went to page saying I had successfully set it up.

Meanwhile win auth was still running thru cycle producing new numbers and I continued following the forum link to save the winauth for runescape name
I found having the page and app side by side helped as not having to switch between them.
I just clicked the code entry box in readiness to enter the number and let win auth go thru numbers til I was ready and the win aut* timer bit was at the start of a cycle and quickly typed that code in and submitted it so to speak before the next cycle started on win auth.

It seemed to be just a matter of timing.. hope that helps and you get set up soon :)

What about those who do not have a smartphone? It was stated that support for JAG will be removed later this Summer, however that will leave many players without account protection. Are you planning to release another form of security for those who do not have a smartphone, will JAG still be available, or do you not care for the players who do not have a smartphone? I suggest either keeping support for JAG or creating a new system in which the smartphone use is optional and adds another layer of security but is not required so that all players have access to the added account protection of the Authenticator/JAG.

Perhaps this should instead be an additional security feature on TOP on JAG, not only is it ludicrous that Jagex assumes all players to have a smartphone and decides to throw those who do not to the wolves, it is also ridiculous that we as players are required to download a 3rd party application to both our computers AND our cellphones while sharing personal information in order to keep our account safe as it should be without the use of additional installations of 3rd party applications.

3 Replies all from the same Jmod in 47 pages of text, none of those addressing in any way the concerns of many here. I give up- To any potential hackers out there, enjoy my hundreds of hours of hard painstaking work, and kick the golden cabbage around a bit while you're at it.

I agree with Tinkle Toes and many others, Please DO NOT GET RID OF JAG! I'm sure all the account hacker are pleased to hear that all the RS members that don't have a smart phone will have unprotected accounts. I am in a clan with 230 members and this seams to be a problem, so I volunteered to post something for them.
