Swtor Security Key App and S24 Galaxy Phones

[Darkrebellord]

Today i purchased a new mobile phone when i searched for the swtor security app on google store app it says that swtor security key is not compatible with Samsung S24 Galaxy phone.

 

So i had to removed the security app from my swtor account in order for me to log in to my webpage and game.

now just want to know will there be update to that security key app for future mobile phones as i found it easier than receiving one time password via email which can take up to 15 minutes to come through sometimes you never receive the code at all for days on end the longest i every had to wait was 3 days for one password to come through which was ridiculous that was way back in 2011.

So recap will their been upgrade to swtor security key app on google store for the samsung galaxy s24 and or future mobile phones?

The short answer is "No."  The longer answer says that it is no longer supported as a method for multifactor authentication, and neither are the official SWTOR-branded physical security keys.  Instead, they now recommend Google Authenticator instead of the old SWTORSK app, but in truth, any TOTP authenticator app will work.  There are dozens, but some are of note:

• Google Authenticator (recommended by SWTOR)
• OTP Auth (recommended by Steve The Cynic because I use it for SWTOR and it works just fine)
• Authy
• SaasPass (?sp?) (?capitalisation?) (a bit more business-oriented, but TOTP is TOTP is TOTP, so it should work fine.
• WinAuth (used by other folks that play SWTOR, runs on your PC instead of your phone)
