Usage

When you log in to your account, an authentication request is sent to your device. If the code on your device matches the one on your computer, press Approve.

If you want to login using the authenticator’s randomly-generated numeric code instead, click Use Authenticator Security Code on your computer. Then press Enter code manually on your device to generate an authentication code. Each code is unique and valid only once.

If you prefer to enter a code at every login, visit the authenticator page in Battle.net Account Management, and check Require an authenticator code every time you log in to the game.
