[Security] Time-Based Tokens for Secure Account Authentication

Visual Studio·10/11/2014, 6:43:08 PM·4 votes·842 views

I'm a huge fan of the Google authenticator and the Blizzard authenticator so I was wondering if there would ever be an equivalent on the League of Legends client for logging in. I absolutely hate entering my password every time that I log onto the client because of the lack of a "remember password" button and I think it would be cool to have an application that could be installed on any flash drive or just a single stangalone USB or even non-USB device with a LCD display that would show a code for authentication. Many many many services have been using two-way authentication and if you manage to lose your device then you can just log on with your password and disable it and add another if need be so it's a very seemless transition to and from devices used for two-way authentication.

As far as my experience goes I'm a programmer and I program in C#, C(++), PHP, and Python and it's very simple to implement such features so it couldn't be a very rough transition as far as effort goes.

League NEEDS this feature! Even if it isn't a LoL specific program, just use Google's current authentication and all is well. Not sure why people are down voting it...

Thought it would be nice to resurrect this thread considering it's still not implemented.
