With Authenticator I found a very nasty thing that has been overlooked by Blizzard: you can log in to the official forums without entering your authenticator number.
So a password-guesser bot can theoretically abuse that.
It was very sad to learn that, since all other places where you enter your account/password seem to be protected...

So I don't log in to forums anymore!
