The time has come to migrate your Authenticator from the old Authenticator App to the new Battle.net App. If you currently are using the Battle.net Authenticator app, you must migrate to the new Battle.net mobile app by January 5.
The Authenticator feature is now available in the Battle.net mobile app. The old Authenticator app will be removed from all app stores as early as January 1, 2024, and will no longer be available for download. Players who migrate their authenticator will be able to continue using the Battle.net mobile app to authenticate their account logins.
If you currently have your Battle.net Authenticator in the Battle.net Authenticator app, you must migrate to the new Battle.net mobile app by January 5. After this date, we will begin removing the authenticator from accounts which haven’t migrated, reset passwords for affected accounts, and notify all affected players of the reset.
Once you migrate to the new app you can remove the legacy Authenticator app from your device. Learn more in our support article.
