I see there's a lot of Phishing emails and web sites out there more that too ready to steal your accounts.

Now with the advent of smart phones, why dont CCP come up with A PIN Sentury authenticator for said phones.
Abit like other MMO's
I know the key fob type wii properly be to costly to implement but i am sure the ones made for smart phones
will be much less costly.
And i am sure will help the EVE community Greatly???

What do you think??Shocked

because only the idiots open those phishing emails and the authenticators are a stupid gimmick that adds another unwanted level of security to your account

That it true a lot of idiots will go and be stupid enough to go to those web sites.
unfortunately the phishing e-mails are getting much better, and there's people out there
who are not as computer literate as you and i.
I know nothing is perfect.

Unwanted by you... but not by all.

Much like google 2-step auth this should be up to the end user if they want it activated.
