and why not keep jag(it has actually kept me safe from a few people in china lol)..

JAG did not work on OSRS, thus it did not keep you safe, you kept you safe.

So glad I finally have some real security on my 07 account. This was easy to set up and works really well. Thanks!

what are the steps a person using the computer version must do u tell all steps for phones but no help for us that dont have?...............

First you need to install WinAuth. Just Google search it and take the first search result. On this page you can download a beta version or the stable version. Download the latest stable version (ver 3.0.21). I just noticed they updated their site with more info regarding RS so this might come in handy for you.

After you have downloaded WinAuth, run it. It asks you to add an authenticator. For RS you have to add a Google Authenticator. Leave this screen open. Name, Icon doesn't really matter.

Go to the update newspost and follow the link where you can setup your 2step authentication. After you logged in to the website you'll get the a page with a QR image, since we're using a desktop we don't need the image but we need the code. Somewhere next to the image you can click on a button/link to get the code for this image. Copy this code and paste it into the WinAuth screen ("1. Enter the Secret Code for your authenticator...). Then click "Verify Authenticator".

Now it will start generating codes that will change every 30 seconds. Copy the code that's generated into the RS page and complete the setup. 2 Step authentication is now active on your account.

After that's done you need to complete the WinAuth setup. Press 'ok' on the WinAuth screen and you'll have a new authenticator added. I think it will ask you to setup a ******** for WinAuth aswell, do this.

Setup is now complete. When you want to login on 07 just login like you normally would and then it will ask you for a 6 digit code. Open WinAuth and use the authenticator you just created to start generating codes, use this code to login.

I hope I didn't forget any important details but this should help (did this from memory). All my questions were answerred on this thread/FAQ aswell.

Hi Jagex,

I have read the (FAQ's).

I’m sorry that I see people who seem to lack the compassion and empathy nor the wisdom to understand the concerns of other people. Apparently not even the chronological difference in age changes this.
Technology should keep up with (people) and not the other way around. What I’m saying here is if you have an older system the corporations involved in this tech should continue to support them until a reasonable (new) system can be purchased. Obviously not everyone has the same type of income (I won*t go into this in detail here… if you don‘t understand what this means then mebe in time you will). Regardless, there are millions of people (including businesses) that still use the older windows xp systems and who do not have (or access to) the (newer) phone type devices (yes, you can use the pc dnld).
Again, I did read the faq’* but passing the downloading/installing of new software to the customer rather than incorporating it into the (game)… ok, everyone’s trying to save time and money… gotcha! But at least let those people who don’* want to do this download/install not have access to your game. A Bold reassurance of this would be nice to see on the main page.Also, phasing out a security measure that has/does work… I don’t know… I still think you could use the tech that’s available to build the security into (your) system and then reasonable increase your products cost to customer.
Ok, I can see the can of worms I’ve opened but this is of course my opinion.

Now, Having said all this I do applaud Jagex for their focus on customer security/safety !

I hope everyone can move forward and have fun… every day!
