Back to piracy for me, I guess

What wrong with them having your drivers licence?

Did you not save your Restore Code or Serial Number for your authenticatior? Even the virtual app has this if you go into the settings, user. I have them written down on a scrap of paper for mine, personally. Still, I'll never forget the time my phone broke and I needed to get a new one, but I had no way of turning my old phone back on to get the Serial Number or Restore Code, so it was obnoxious getting my authenticator taken off to put on a new one, but eventually customer support was able to get it off for me. Took about an hour on the phone with them, but it worked out.

This happened to me and it was fairly quick

It's an authenticator, it's supposed to be highly secure.

What the fuss about giving your ID anyways? Serious question btw, I'm not fond of Blizzard but I honestly don't give much of a shit about giving my ID.

think

metzen might steal your identity

wtf is this bait? thats an optional thing for cucks.

post it here, uncensored.

user, it's an opt-in thing that you signed up for of your own volition to make it harder for people to steal your password or find some other way into your account. They need to make it difficult for people to get in if the user opts-in for two-factor authentication like this. Or did you sign up for this while wanting it to be easy for Chinese dickheads to get into your account, steal anything they want if you play shit like WoW, and then get off scott-free after deleting your characters?

It's like you signed up for a security system and you're mad at them for sending law enforcement to your house when they detected a potential break-in. You're the one who chose to sign up for that protection and it's doing it's job by trying to keep your possessions secure. This also feels like putting your money in a safe, losing the combination, and then blaming the safe somehow for not opening without the combination to give you access to your money. It's not the safe's fault, that thing's still doing its job exactly as advertised and keeping out every individual that doesn't know the combination to its lock.

It’s about not giving u a company ur id
It’s about the message u faggot

He said the word Activision twice he doesn't have to give you a reason

I don't know about you but from where I am with a photocopy of an ID or the info from an ID you can forge documents, do fraud or take out quick loans. It's not something you want getting leaked by a stupid corporation.

The other day fucking PayPal wanted me to verify my name with an ID, birth certificate. My address with a bank statement or fucking electricity bill. My phone number etc. Shit's fucked, I ain't giving that kind of information, more so electricity bills and shit like that don't have my address on it, even if they did faggots wouldn't understand shit, it's not in English.

Based scallywag

Wouldn't it be easy to forge it if it wasn't in English then? They probably won't even look twice

nothing wrong with using win 10 ltsc if you're not a pimpled retard with 4 eyes

The system is fundamentally shit for anyone that isn't a smartphone zoomer though.

No, I'm pretty sure you just don't have an ID.

Bro what's wrong with people knowing your name and address? I mean it's in the phone book so go post your stuff on here. Why would you not want to do so bro?

Am i the only one that always thought that phone authenticator in steam and others are retarded?
I mean what if your phone get stolen , you forget it somewhere, you break it and all other accidents that can happens. You lose access to all your shit which is very retarded. It is not like an email. If your email info are leaked it is mostly your fault for using a risky network or giving them to others....

You locked yourself out of your own account through your own retardation, and now want to blame everyone but yourself. Yikes.

You mean, for me to forge it and give it to paypay? I just want to buy stupid game bundles with my paypal I'm not putting in that kind of effort. As far as I know this limits me from getting or withdrawing payments but I have a card linked to it anyway.

Don't give blizzard your ID DONT FUCKING DO IT, they do not delete this shit unless you email them forcing them or sue. They most likely got hacked already and they will take all those IDs with them.

Or you are just a corporate bootlicker.

I think there are options if you lost your device. Your account is linked to your phone number not the device specifically. In case you lose access to your device or it gets stolen you should go to your carrier and report it, get a new SIM with the same number and then you should be good to go.

>using an mfa app

Don't you usually get a "key" consisting of a string of characters? I don't have many but I remember it for things like GW2 and my you can use said key to set up a new authenticator if you want or need.

Proofs?

what do you think is going to happen?
blizzard is going to ask for his entire social security number and original driver's license and a hacker is going to steal his identity or something?

They already have your name, address, and payment information if you play the game.

I know you people don't go outside but cashiers also do this thing where you have to hand them your ID.

Not the case with authenticators, they are linked to the phone itself so it's harder to retrieve your shit if something happens to it, but it's safe from SIM spoofing at least.

God, remember when you took internet safety classes in middle school and teachers told you you shouldn't even put your fucking address on the internet?
Now all zoomers are like this and have no problem putting sensitive personal information like their fucking social security number on the internet.

if your system isnt open source its compromised

They already know your name and address you fucking child.

Holy fuck we're living in an Orwellian future.

>Need I'd picture for a fucking account.

This literally already happened with other corporations, why would fucking Blizzard be safe from hackers?

You can easily use SMS verify instead of the authenticator to get into your account. Unless you're trying to break into someone elses account, in which case fuck off

This thread is garbage. Y'all are the reason theres no such thing as personal security anymore. Fuck it send em your id i dont give a shit

>Y'all

Blizzard accounts can resale for hundreds to thousands of dollars, of course they're going to protect your account with an id. Facebook even requires it sometimes and those accounts are absolutely worthless

Got a problem

It is. The only requirement there should be for removing 2FA is one final 2FA check. Imagine having to give them your ID just to change your password.

You can black out everything except your name faggot

My country’s ID has the equivalent of a social security number on it and literally no one but the government has the authority to ask you for it, like fuck I am trusting some mutts with it.

Yeah, keep your nigger fetish where I don't have to see it.

This is why I don't have a Facebook either. Shits scary.

Nah, You are just another mouthbreathing retard.

>He thinks sending people your driver's license will somehow cause a personal security problem.

Attached: 6110.gif (333x200, 725K)

Well the way I understand it they send you an SMS to your phone to authorize that it's you. When you first do that by entering your SMS code in the authenticator it generates a code and you need to write down and you can use that code to deauthorize the device/number. One time I deleted my app and when I redownloaded it I needed to reverify it with a new SMS, I'm guessing in case I lost my device it's the same, a second verification SMS, as long as you own your phone number and it's not a pre-paid SIM.

Can they receive SMS with a spoofed SIM?

Post yours in this thread right now or you're just some faggot saying stupid shit

>personal security
>state issued ID
huh

nice false equivalence retard, a business which has legally binding privacy clauses is not the same as posting it in Yea Forums

If you genuinely don't see any issue with giving Acti-Blizz, a company co-owned by Tencent, your ID, you're unironically retarded and hopefully underage, as no grown-ass man should be this fucking dumb.

Your ID has no information on it they don't already have, you have no argument

>The system is fundamentally shit

Not as bad as Linux's shitty UI though

>he doesnt run w10 enterprise

oh no my state issued ID with important information such as my name
this is truly 100 times worse than MY FULL CREDIT CARD INFO

>people worried somebody about sharing personal info
lmao what personal info retards you guys are all a bunch of social outcasts with nothing worth shit to your name, hell all you probably have is your name to begin with

Hey buddy, we swear we won't use you ID for anything, trust us. You do trust your fellow channers more than fucking Blizzard, don't you? ;)

>whataboutism
Yes, giving them your credit card info is also retarded, additionally providing them your photo - even more so, well done.

so this is the reason why ATMs and EFTPOS machines take fucking forever now. It's because they all use the shitty glow in the dark nigger software

any business where you want to pay with your credit or debit card

Your photo is so valuable and precious, except its available freely for most people on social media sites

a liquor store can do more with your ID than a video game company

Yeah, underaged confirmed.

You're directly providing their databse with your info, the fact that your photo is available somewhere else on the internet is of no relevance.

dont they get your full ID when you use the plastic card with the smart chip?

Because giving your name, address, DOB, and license number is really going to matter when the company already has your name, address, and DOB.

I remember being in the same situation for something else blizzard related
Why do they need in-depth identification?

>Not having any social media accounts because you're an irredeemable shut in
Note I said 'most people', ie not you, because I knew some asocial neckbeard was going to ackshually me

Because (you) don't already know my name and address you fucking child. You idiots are so fucking dumb with posts like these you'll be robbed blind without anyone needing your dumbshit ID anyway, so I don't know why you're even worried about it.

How else are they going to get proof that it's the account's owner trying to remove the authenticator? Why do you even want to remove it in the first place?

>Have to give corporations your ID, SS, and other information to get hired

Why do you care when other people know your information? You love giving it away to anyone who is big enough without a thought. You are just a pussy.

I don’t know about your bank, but mine doesn’t make you give them mugshots and fingerprints and then broadcast your social security and all the other shit associated with your ID number

this is your fault for falling for the authenticator meme

>If you don't use social media like me then you're a shut in
Absolutely pathetic. You need to go back

i have social medias account, but i literally have no photos of ke on there.
i preefer seing people irl or actually calling them by phone.
social medias were a mistake that separates us, not the other way around.

>show a copy of your ID so that the dude in the customer support can see that the info matches up with whatever you already told them when you created the account
>"MUH CORPORATIONS SELL MY INFO TO CHINA"

Not sure if ESL or regular mutt, but here goes
>your photo is so valuable and precious, except its available freely for most people on social media sites
This means the photo of is available for most people to find through your social media.
> most people’s photo is so valuable and precious, except its available freely on social media sites
This means that most people have their photos freely available to be found on social media.

With this level of literacy, it comes as no surprise you see no issue with handing over your ID to random corporations.

Blizzard is in bed with China. They want your ID so they can put you in their social credit program. Your social credit tanks if you play video games too often. Once China takes over you're fucked for the rest of your life

>Accusing others of ESL when your post is borderline unintelligible to a native speaker

It doesn't matter why put your chips on the table in the first place? You're betting that they won't get hacked, except it's not a bet when you can win something, you can only lose.

At those stores you simply flash your ID, not give them a digital copy for them to forever keep on file and share with Tencent

>American thinks the whole world either speaks English or Spanish

I never added an authenticator for my Blizzard account and nothing has ever happened to it.

Could you be any more retarded

the moment i knew the authenticator would lock you out if you ever:
>lost access to your phone
>uninstalled the app without disabling the service first
>forgot your number

made be scramble to get it off as fast as i could

Nope, you’re missing a few things here:
>usually every authenticator system gives you backup codes to use for access if you lose your auth device
>it’s not called 2-factor authentication for nothing: even if someone gets your phone, it’s only one piece of the puzzle, they still need your password

Tbf, anyone who even tries to take care of their security personally doesn't need it. If you use different passwords everywhere and don't input your account into any shady sites, the chance to get your account cracked is slim.

Quit being reasonable, dilating incel.

no they don't. Blizzard still thinks I'm from germany

>I-I s-s-swear I have belongings
It's clear you don't

It doesn't work that way, you can remove it SMS verification. So unless you forget your number AND lose your phone AND uninstall the authenticator, you can't lose access. And even then you can call support and get it removed.

Not having an authenticator is retarded, it's impossible to lose access to your account unless you're not actually the account holder or doing account sharing or some shit against the TOS.

There's no point in even having an authenticator. There's an option you can select where whenever you log in from a new location they text you a code to log in and then it saves that IP address.

Blizz has always used state ID to unlock authenticators. It's to stop people from stealing your account. But why does it even matter? Just make a new account for classic. It's not like you're going to play retail and you definitely don't have any friends.

Attached: 3GeEdIp.jpg (850x1252, 348K)

I added an identificator and still got my account somehow hijacked by somebody when I stopped playing. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Turdzzar actually sold dormant accounts to chinks.

The problem is that people in general are horrible on estimating their ability yo stay secure. Literally nobody will admit that ”gee I’m a gullible idiot, better take some precautions”, even the worst smuck thinks that he knows his shit and it’s only the other idiots who get breached. I’d be willing to bet that the people who need 2FA the most are in general the ones least likely to use it.

FUCK Activision for even thinking this is acceptable. We really are at a point where quitting gaming is the safest option. Blizzard had multiple "hacks" in the past where customer data was "leaked". They announced it months after it happened.

Just use your backup key.

I went to an interview for a local food processing plant here in Massachusetts and THEY'RE owned by the Chinese too.

Wait a second. I just realized something. For them to want your ID that means they want to match your name and information to the one they already have to prove that it's you. But why would they have that information in the first place? And if you gave fake info then you're fucked aren't you?

What's the point of having an ID if not to prove you are you, you fucking retard?

I went through this support system this morning, no I'm not OP, so I can tell you how it went.
From what I gathered, they'll need a Government issued ID.
This means that a birth certificate or a passport will work. Same with a driving license I guess. I think they want a valid ID that would match up with some information related to the account. For me, I deleted my email account tied to the account. Then again, I couldn't login even though I had the right password, they wanted a security question or email confirmation. That means they'd match at least one thing from it up to the account details. That, or they're just looking for any Valid ID you've taken yourself.
