The problem they are pointing out is that the authenticator only works for logging in and not on your account allowing people to place orders for CREDD, and other things from your account. Potentially not protecting your personal information which is available from the NCsoft website not from the game.

Most other security keys required people to use it to log into the site and get into your account, as it also protects personal information and the possibility to have things put on credit cards saved in the system. Some others here seem to think how the 2 step authentication is implemented is great, but e-gold, e-peen and characters much less important than information that is potentially available through the log in site. On a side note if they implemented it preventing people logging into the site without their 2 step authentication... it would mean less threads whinging about it too. :o

If you want, you can deactivate your own authenticator (easily, since you have the authenticator), spin up a new authenticator code, and write down the new seed. That's what I did to avoid the potential hassle. I mean, there's only so much I can tell everyone who's having a 2FA problem in the case that they shut down their original device. It's a security layer, that's not the kind of thing that any company makes easy or automatic (that's when hackers actually do come after your account). I know it might annoy some returning players, but it does make me feel better that removing my authenticator without the code isn't something that can be done easily.
