It all sounds like a lot of messing around, especially if you have more than one person with accounts using the same computer !!

With us, I use the main computer while the hubby is at work, when he gets home I get "banished" to the laptop, seems like we're are going to have to mess around a lot before we can even get in game ¸.•´¸.`•.¸¸.• MoonShadow `•.¸¸.•¸.•´¸.`

I don't even use google as a search engine, so why in HELL would I trust them with autheticator codes and access to my phone or computer? How many of you, including jmods, know exactly what google or these other companies can glean from you agreeing to let them into your phone or your computer? Is a dying game worth losing everything?

Sheeple...

Then don't use google.....LOL what a strange bunch of people on these forums.... :P

Include yourself in that, you've repeated on several posts now the same
message,'you don't need a smart phone'.
OK We heard you the first time,or have you a strange repetitive disorder.
If only everyone was as SMART as you :P .And now the end is near its time to raise the final curtain.

Thanks a lot Jagex I just recently removed my JAG because I kept hearing it was going to be removed and then I see the "we will keep it for the time being" and now I can't re-activate it. You know, I'm actually getting sick of you guys doing things like this. Stop fixing things that aren't broken!!!

Give the people who disabled the JAG the option to enable it again because I honestly don't see how this is a better method. Seriously, the hacker would have to go through security questions AND have to know our e-mail while the hackers now can just scan the code and log in to our accounts. Great idea!

Instead of getting rid of JAG, why not just keep both JAG AND the Authenticator.. Not everyone has access to smartphones, and this includes new players. Basically, for us to have extra security, Jagex will expect us to have a smartphone. Most smartphones that have app stores cost a good price, and the plans are even worse. I do not use a smartphone, and I cannot afford to get one. There are a good number of players, like me, who cannot afford to get one.
Jagex says they are keeping JAG around "for the time being" but "new players will not be able to use it". What about the new players who can't use the Authenticator for the lack of having a smartphone? So these players just go without that extra layer of security we were promised to have? Or do you guys plan to provide us with the money to get a smartphone so that we can use the new security plan?

Edit: To the people saying "you don't need a smartphone", the other methods of using it include a lot more hassle, and it's from unknown or untrusted sites in most cases. It's not worth it to put out a lot of personal data or risk for a game's security.

To the people saying "phishers were hijacking accounts with JAG", the only people who would get phished while having JAG were people who were oblivious. They didn't only need to have your email, but they would need your security questions as well. Your security questions are not stored in your email alone, they would need to know the answers to all of your questions (or most of them) to get into your account. What idiot would give away their answers to their security questions?

BOTH methods of security should be kept. This way people who like JAG, can use it. People who wanna use Authenticator, can use it. No harm in keeping both, and I'm sure since you're capable of holding both up "for the time being" now, you can keep both up indefinitely. So think of the rest of the people who can't use Authenticator.

The thing I don't get is why you don't read the forums. Instead you probably read the first post and then start replying........it has been known for days now that a phone is not needed.[/quote]

And what I don't get is why you didn't read and take note of the entire line you yourself quoted " other means to use this"

I have downloaded the google authenticator onto my laptop and the system has been tested 2/3 times with random codes to my RioII. It has worked perfectly but I am still being told on the opening page that I should download to get the protection. Grrrrl
