This product is amazing for protecting your account, but the seller Z-Deals is completely scamming people out of their money. As stated by Gozer, this product sells for 6.50 from the Blizzard store and is a "FREE" app if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch. Don't be foolish and fall for this sellers attempt to make extra money off of you and Blizzard. Please buy this from Blizzard from their online store. If it is out of stock just be patient and wait your turn. Avoid gold selling websites and the now famous "Spectral Tiger" loot card in game scam and you will be fine. Z-Deals try selling something with honesty instead of ripping off your customers.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM THESE RESELLERS. This item sells for $6.50 from Blizzard, tho currently sold out (I can guess these idiots bought a good chunk of them with the intent of reselling at an obscene price), I would wait and not support these bastards trying to turn a profit. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can get it for free. Again, don't buy this for more than what Blizzard is selling them for.

$50 for a $6.50 product? I don't think so! The product itself is good insurance against getting hacked. Many so called "experts" say all you need to do is practice "Safe Internet Usage." Do not listen to them. I've been an information technology professional for over 20 years. I don't do porn, don't click on shady links, don't buy gold, don't share my account info, or any other unsafe practice. Firewall, anti-virus, keylogger detection, etc? Check! And my account still got hijacked. World of Warcraft has weaknesses that can be exploited via add-ons (that's why the hackers always go for the WoW account and not your credit card or online banking). A Blizzard GM once told me that just grouping with someone who has a compromised account can put you at risk. The Authenticator is the best way to prevent this (you should still practice safe internet procedures to keep your other stuff secure). That's assuming you can get an Authenticator. Blizzard, showing it's typical dim wittedness allowed them to be bought in bulk by crooks who jack the price up. Don't pay $30 or $50 dollars for one of these. You're the victim of a crime if you do. In the mean time, I've deleted all my add-ons and have had no trouble since. For the arrogant "experts" out there, go ahead and laugh. Murphy will visit you sooner or later.

I've been waiting weeks to get my authenticator. I absolutely refuse to pay almost ten times the original cost for this item! The reason you have to pay so much in the first place is because these people bought them all to resell them!

This vendor should be ashamed of themselves. The Blizzard store is currently sold out of this $6.50 item. To have a vendor have this up on the Amazon site for $59.84 is like selling water in Hurricane disaster zones for inflated prices.

If you have spent far too much free time playing World of Warcraft, and want to maitain your account integrity, then this product is a MUST HAVE! It defeats a key-logger program from allowing anyone access to your account, even if they get your password. Once you get one, simply go to your account on the WoW website, and enter the serial number, and everytime you log into either the website to manage your account, or to the game, you will need to enter a random number, generated from the amazing little key in your hand. Im not sure how it works, other than some complex math each key uses to generate the numbers, but it works.
