[INFO] SWTOR Security Key Issues
There is this Help Center articles specifically for the security key. (for attaching and removing the key ).
On June 2015 SWTOR upgraded their back-end server software to support their new RFC 6238 TOTP authenticator mobile applications. As a result, any Security Key application prior to June 2015 can no longer be attached. The following can now be used instead, the SWTOR application doesn't need to be specifically used anymore.
- Windows Phone (TOTP)
- WinAuth - (TOTP)
- Authy - (TOTP)
- Google Authenticator - (TOTP)
Google Authenticator is the recommended verification option, as it’s the most up-to-date Security Key available for SW:TOR. Once you’ve set up a SW:TOR Security Key, use Google Authenticator to generate the code needed when you sign into SW:TOR.
The SW:TOR Security Key App and the SW:TOR Physical Security Key are no longer supported as verification methods. We recommend switching to Google Authenticator if you currently use either of these as a SW:TOR Security Key.
TIP 1 - The serial that the swtor website provides to enter into the app , save that serial it can be used to setup the app again if you lose/break your phone.
TIP 2 - You can setup more then one app. eg. you can setup the swtor app on your phone and have winauth on your PC for backup using the same serial.
Lost Key Link from directions here is seen below if you login without a security key to allow removal (this must be in a web browser not the launcher)
