"We still recommend that all users upgrade to Authenticator as soon as possible. To ensure the highest levels of account security, some future RuneScape features will only be available to those who have enabled RuneScape Authenticator."

I'm more curious about what future RS features would not be available if you do not have authenticator...

Btw is there any problem with having both Auth and JAG enabled at once? I just left JAG on when I set up Auth cause I thought why not :P

No, both will work together but you'll probably find it becomes quite annoying to have to wait for the JAG email, answer all your security questions and then also enter the code from your code generator app.

I very very rarely ever log into any other PC than my home one so it's no hassle to me, but is an extra hassle to anyone else :) .

I'm not smart, but I can remember all of my security answers. How do people forget them? They are about you and your life, the life that you are living so how can you not remember these details. JAG should be more than enough for anyone, it is ridiculous that it isn't for some people unless they have some medical excuse such as memory loss.

Quite concerned that Jagex thinks phrases it so that they think that we answer our JAG questions every time we log in, I haven't had to do that since i activated JAG so am I doing something wrong or are they just phrasing it wrong?

To be honest i feel like having JAG is much more easier then having authenticator, especially if you dont have smartphone. I really Really hope JAG will stay longer then just for now, and all those hoping JAG will be removed may i ask how is it effecting your life when if you dont like it you dont have to use it and you can now use the new way instead. Dont be all hating for alternative ways having account secure. Homeworld 86 :P

Do you have any hints on what Authenticator only content will look like? Are we talking about something like chrome goggles or something more substantive?

The only thing I can think of that would make sense is some kind of priority customer support interface. I can see how limiting it to users with the Authenticator would keep hackers from spamming the system.

Can you either remove the need for authenticator to access the rs companion app or can you make it so i dont have to re load the companion app to put the code in as currently, i open the app sign in to be asked for the code, switch app to the code then back to the companion to have to sign in again to enter the code, and for the 30 seconds it takes for the code to change it is a bit tight.
