It's kind of crazy. I know that my battle.net account is more secure than a lot of people's online banking credentials: not only do I need a user name and password to access my bnet account, but my account is linked with a mobile app that gives me time-sensitive one-time-use 8-10 security code.

Recently I had to wipe my phone without being able to get the serial number information from the bnet app. It was kind of a pain, but I had to actually scan and send in an image of my drivers license for them to release the old authenticator from my account so I could attach a new one.

Think about that. An online gaming company is more secure about account authorization than a lot of banks are.
