    This reminds me Blizzard forces their users to use 2FA with their own app if you want to unlock all the features on World of Warcraft, so you are forced to install the blizzard app on your personal smartphone device…

      I wonder if it works in an Android VM. The shittier thing they’ve done is requiring a non-prepaid number for Overwatch 2, locking out people who can’t afford anything else… And some regions as well.

      I don’t think that’s true, I don’t have the app and I was able to play SC2 not that long ago. I think you can disable 2FA in account settings.

        I said “unlock all the features on World of Warcraft”. If you disable 2FA, you can’t use all the features.
