How do I get an authenticator for 2nd acct?(1)Category: Technical SupportOctober-11-2013 7:00 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I have a main battle.net account with D3 installed, and I use the mobile authenticator for the iPhone for it. I recently created a second battle.net account, bought another copy of D3 solely to play self-found characters, but I cannot figure out how to buy or register an authenticator for this second account:


  • The mobile authenticator only works with one battle.net account. I thought I might be able to copy the serial numbers for each account and switch them, but it knows it's attached to a certain account and I will not detach it from my primary one.
  • On the Battle.Net Authenticator page, clicking the button labeled 'Physical' shows you a link titled 'Battle.net Authenticator (United States)'. Clicking that link brings you to a page on the Battle.net Store showing 5 other links. The only one that is valid for the United States is showing 'Sold Out'!

Can someone please explain how I'm supposed to purchase or otherwise acquire an authenticator for my second account?

Wildfire,

You can only have one Diablo III game account attached to your Battle.net account which can only have one authenticator attached to it. You'll need another authenticator for the second Battle.net account. Since you can't install the app twice on a single mobile device, you'll need another mobile device which wouldn't make much sense or you'll need to purchase a standalone keyfob authenticator and attach it to the second account. If they're currently showing as being sold out, you'll need to check back as they get them in again frequently.
