Hi all =) just popping in to read the pages that have come up since my last post.
Seems as if nothing has really changed. Some people like it, more people don't. The popular vote is to leave JAG in place and add the authenticator as an option for those who want to use it.

Now here are some figures I find a bit more disturbing:
Has anyone bothered to count the posts from people who seem to only be interested in bashing those less tech capable then themselves, or those less skilled in communicating their issues? My mother used to say "If you can't say something nice/positive. Then don't say anything." If you have information, if you have a problem, if you have something definitive or positive to add to the on-going discussion, please, by all means post. If not, could you please go start your own thread where all those with the same tendencies to abuse their fellow players while trying to make themselves feel superior can feel free to bash away. Not everyone is comfortable, capable, educated, gifted, happy, or ( in the case of many underaged players) allowed to, download and set this thing up.

Options are always nice and allowing people to choose which of these methods of security to use shouldn't be any sort of problem. Unless there already is a problem....How about it Mr. Jagex? Is there an existing problem? Is there some reason you want to sluff responsibility for our security off on 3rd parties and our own admitedly un-informed abilities? I would like an answer please? Because if there is a problem I have a right to know. And if there isn't, then there is no need to force these changes. Honestly, I could do this if I chose to. It is not beyond my skills. But I see no reason to, no need for, removing the existing security feature. Present your reasoning, show me your proof, give me cause. Otherwise, give EVERYONE A CHOICE.

ok first off phones get wet, broken, stolen, lost or whatever so im not trusting anything like this to store on my phone.

computers mine being a laptop its possible to be lost or stolen or hell its more than 5 years old it may just quit on me all together.

with my luck they would both go at the same time. maybe im missing something and its quite possible because im 8 years into rs and cant be bothered to read these BS updates all the way through anymore. back to my question, what do i do if they both took quit working on me?

well firstly this is the most stupid idea ever secondly the 30 day remember my pc thing doesn't even work thirdly my smartphone isn't vary smart so when i go to log in and with the 30 day thing not working it takes an extra 5-10 mins just to log in so I am disabling the auth and I guess losing all security when you remove JAG thanks alot Jagex. It was bad enough you banning me the time I played close to 24hr a day for a few days last september... if Jagex screws up again or continues its plan to remove account security I am going to quit and Jagex can say bye bye to another 8 year vet player (most of that time a paying member).

First off i'm not downloading nothing on my pc i know sod all about,
i read horror stories from some of you getting viruses from apps etc
while trying to get free Runecoins.
I Guess if they take JAG away for no reason whatsoever as i believe
we should have the choice of security ,then hackers will have an
invitation from Jagex to hack my acc and many more.
And when i'm hacked of 8 years hard graft in a minute i'm outta here.
They keep ramming it down our throats that this is 'our game' and
we get to vote on crucial matters, well once again they show us what
Hypocrites they are.
No doubt there is some money to be made in this for them.
.And now the end is near its time to raise the final curtain.
Regrets i have a few, but i did it my way.

I am liking the RuneScape Authenticator so far. It's fast, secure to use, and nice for those who had previous difficulties remembering JAG details. - Thank you! :)

I may have an Android to download the app, but I won't.

I do not want to deal with more of these BS updates that most people don't need.

As the old saying goes, if somethings not broken, don't fix it.

For this "Security Update" I will not be downloading the App, I am against this, I do not want it.

Please, for the sake of keeping people happy, Please keep JAG as an option to players to use without having to use this "Authenticator".

I have a problem with the Authenticator. When I download the Google Authenticator, the only email it pulls up is the owner of the smart phone account, which isn't me. Although he and I have separate RS accounts, the phones are in his name. Because of this, I can't use this thing. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
