Just something to point out about the algorithm used by Blizz to figure this out, it is also based on login patterns (when, time based). I was locked out because I decided to play late one night that I normally do not, so I was shut down, had to reset my password and call support. This is not a good metric imo, pretty much means that if I get time to extend my game play one night or another I would have to let Blizz know prior, which is a little more painful then just entering in my authenticator code.
