  1. This is good news. Using something like Authy that does cloud backups of your settings allows you to recover easily if you forget to transfer your authentications to a new phone before wiping the old one. Not that I’ve ever done that 😅 or if your phone gets destroyed accidentally, stolen, etc. The existing app has no provisions for that and depends on the user having recorded important information in a place they can get to it when needed.

    Encouraging folks to use something like Authy will certainly reduce the number of panicked players every year that find themselves without an easy way to disable/re-enable their authenticator.

  2. Sorry, I’m very confused. So I have the SQEX TOKEN on my phone, this is getting retired? So if they’re retiring this app what app am I supposed to use? What are Software Authenticator Apps? Is this like a generic Authenticator? Why would I use a generic Authenticator app instead of the official SQENIX one? How can it link to my account if it’s not from the same company?

  3. I would love to buy a physical token, but they're only sold in the NA shop which doesn't ship overseas… It's neither in the gb shop nor the German one 😭

  4. I'm still using the original FF11 physical token when those first came out. It's now giving me the battery warning after all these years. T^T may have to switch to the FFXIV token that came with the collectors edition soon. I wish I could just replace the battery of the original.

  5. Personally I prefer the Phone to the physical copy since I always have my phone on or near me and the Physical token is just one more object I need to keep track of. I don't even know where I put my physical token that came with the game.
    I just hope the 3rd party tokens can be used on my phone and aren't too hard to set up.
    I also wonder if they are going to shut down the FFXIV Libra app since they haven't updated it since 4.1 during Stormblood, a pity since it was useful for looking up stuff.

  6. I heard they discontinued the physical authenticators and only the digital was available, and only those with one already attached to the account could use them.
