** warning sad old parent here playing RuneScape lmao*
I have always been under the impression that RuneScape was a game aimed mainly at teenagers, what with pocket money prices and what I feel is a great introduction to online gaming.
With that in mind I do feel the idea of using smartphones and other such technology for the authenticator is a bad idea. None of my children for example have access to a smart phone and quite frankly they never will, I cannot afford such luxuries. I should imagine that much of your player base is in much the same situation, (us parents can be so tight with the dosh handouts lol).
By all means have your authenticator but I vote like many others that that the Guardian is also kept or a computer based alternative is found.
Teaching our children on how to not only keep themselves but their accounts safe, should not be made so complicated. With regards to personal safety I cannot commend you enough on that front and have no issues with allowing my children to play the game, knowing that they are, on the whole, pretty safe. But account safety should not incur further cost to the player, be they a teenager or sad old parent like myself. If it's not broke don't fix it
Right this sad parent who clearly has nothing else better to do is off to get some serious cooking done, them monkfish ain't going to cook themselves

I don't have a smartphone.
I don't have a microwave or a fridge/freezer....so what. Who cares that you don't have a smartphone?

Okay, so I have a question.
Say I don't type in the code within the 30 second timer and the codes changes, will I not be able to log into my RuneScape account?
or what if my phone dies, or gets stolen? Will this effect me being able to log into my account for a certain amount of time?
Thanks.
