If you're in Europe and looking to make your Battle.net account a little more secure, you can now download the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator for free for your iPhone or iPod Touch. According to a post by Ancilorn, versions for other mobile phones are also in the works for the future.

If you've never seen or used an authenticator, it generates a one-time password you use in addition to your regular username and password to log in to your Battle.net account and WoW. With the mobile authenticator, you create the password on your phone. If you have any questions, you can read the FAQ here, and Ancilorn's full post can be found after the jump.

If the physical authenticator for your keychain is more to your liking, that's available in Europe, too. You can discuss all of this in this thread on our general forum.

We're happy to announce that the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator (http://eu.battle.net/bma/), an extension of the same concept behind our Blizzard Authenticator, is now available in Europe.

An authenticator generates a one-time password, which you use in addition to an account ID and password to log in to World of Warcraft and other Blizzard Entertainment services. The Battle.net Mobile Authenticator performs this function for the recently launched Battle.net accounts -- only instead of a physical token, the application exists on your mobile phone for easy access.

The Battle.net Mobile Authenticator is now available as a free download for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch from the Apple App Store:

Versions for other mobile phones are also in the works for the future. Please visit the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator FAQ for more information, or head to the setup page (http://eu.battle.net/bma/) to get started after you've downloaded the application.
