A Battle.net Authenticator can represent an excellent way to add an additional layer of security to your Battle.net account. We appreciate that our players make use of their authenticators, and to help make them more convenient, we’ve introduced the authenticator by-pass. Those of you that have World of Warcraft accounts may already be familiar with how it works: when you log into a Blizzard game from the same location, you won’t always be prompted for an authentication code until you attempt to log in from a different location.

The authenticator bypass is active for StarCraft II, and is enabled by default. Those of you who wish to disable this feature can do so by opting out of the bypass on your Battle.net account management page. If you opt out of the by-pass, you will be prompted by Battle.net for an authentication code each time you log in.

Hi, I've logged in and exited starcraft II but on starting up the game again the login screen still appears which requires me to enter my password still... how do i get the bypass to work since it should be on by default

According to a Sticky in the Tech Support section, it is possible to change the option from the Account Management page.

Unfortunately I cannot be exact as I don't have an Authenticator, but you could try looking from there.

    I was granted the Yellow text for helping people... and attempt pitifully to help I shall!

Is there a FAQ site for this authenticator?? Depending on the price and availability (Im in Singapore) I might get one.
