Something that bothered me about this change is i mistyped my password TWICE.. third time it let me log in with no authenticator.. that bothers me... seems to me you don't put in the right password it should then make sure you put in the authenticator to log in.

I have got kicked often on the last month or so. I've hated having to enter both the password and code to get back. I also use two accounts and hate the log on process when swapping. So I like this change. I did panic and put in a ticket when this change was put in.
I can see where some people might have a problem. Their should be a flag to force the use of the code if you want. I like the change I'm the only one who uses my computer. I tried using a different computer on the same router and it demands the code.

I'm the only one who uses my computer, so I like the change.
I do think they handled it poorly. There was no message or warning on my login screen the day this went live (or the day before).
If I didn't come here I wouldn't have even known about the change and I would have panicked.

I elected to add another level of security to my account. I paid for this option, knowing I would have to authenticate each time I logged in after adding it. In short, I chose to make it that way, and wish they hadn't nerfed the extra security I knowingly chose and even paid for.

This. I liked that security option. I do not like software only solutions no matter how robust they may think it is. It's rare that a hardware security solution is hacked, and with this change we are back to the level of banks. Not that it bad... but I am used to working in industries that can't afford even a single breach... and we always used hardware via either a fab or physical break.
Anything can be hacked, but software just always seems to be broken quicker.

what does it mean by "same place"? like could your neighbor with the same isp as you not need to enter the authenticator if they knew your info?
does it not work on IP address also - in which case theyre unique.

Seems like the best solution for Blizz would be to add an option in our battle.net profiles that says "Prompt for authenticator every time".

Based on my experience, it seems to ask you once a week, if you don't change computers. I authenticated last Thursday and it didn't ask me until today.
