PERFECT UPDATE.

Finally something simple that cannot be beaten. JAG was simply a smokescreen that skilled hackers could easily beat. All they had to do was get a keylogger on your computer (like always) then set a ghost IP to trick JAG. This happened to a lot of players, including myself as I personally got hacked for the first time ever through full JAG "protection" while I was in South America a few months ago. It was nothing but a false sense of security and Jagex knows this, which is why it's going away.

In contrast, Authenticator is unbeatable and extremely easy to use. Setup took about a minute or two, and putting in the code every time you log in takes maybe an extra 5 seconds (no exaggeration). For the first time ever I feel like my account is actually safe, even if my ******** and registered email were to be compromised. However, I'm not sure why there is even an option to have it remember your login for 30 days; this totally defeats the purpose of the entire thing.

Bravo Jagex. Bravo

Hey there I went on a trip to Rhode island for a month and while I was here I checked my account on RS3 and when I Logged in it said I was on 2 days ago which I wasn't. When I logged in I was at the GE with none of my gear on, and when I checked my bank everything valuable was gone 3 dragonfire shields, dharok's set, fury, seers/warrior/berserker rings, 1k rocktail, and 6m which had me terrified because this account has never been hacked since Iv'e had it when I created it in 2007. This happened around the time the runescape autenticator was released and I've been trying to figure out what had happened. I know there are people who make up stories about their account that got hacked in the game but I am not one of them I am very discouraged at the fact that this happened to me while I was on my trip and I was wondering if any Mod can help me in my situation I really need this because this will put me out of playing this game after all of my hard work has gone to nothing in a matter of weeks. Please anyone help with any advice on how to solve my problem Thank you

I read further in the information and I can download a WinAuth or GAuth Authenticator for Firefox which I do use. My question is I use the client how does that fit into these and how would I log in then? Do I need to download both of those files or only one I have Vista home premium. Thanks
