Not sure if there was a question in there, but: if someone has added an authenticator to your account, you will know, because it will ask for the authenticator code when you try to log in.

Any other log in problems are not related to this.

[...] You’re welcome. When my Square-Enix security token arrives, I’ll probably do another one for that one, too. I will become the all-knowing source of attaching one-time use security tokens to accounts, muahahahahahahaha! [...]

@Xpyre: A very good point. I’ve got mine written down in 2 or 3 places now.

@Sindrow: For your first question, I’d recommend going on and merging soon, because Blizzard has said in the future, it’s going to be mandatory – i.e. everything, even if all you play is WoW, will be merged under one Battle.net login. There’s also some minor benefits if you dual-box or just have multiple accounts – you can merge multiple ones into one Battle.net account, only have to remember one login, and can pick between them at login time. (Additionally, if you have WoW remember your login name, the dropdown to pick an account appears directly under the username on the login screen.)

Your second question’s a bit trickier. I haven’t seen any reports of any problems in a couple weeks, and to be entirely honest, I haven’t had a single problem logging in with my battle.net account – knock on wood – and I merged on the very first day it was available to do so.

WoW is currently the only Blizzard game I still play. I’m still using a WoW account instead of the Battle.net account, and I use a keyfob Authenticator. Is there any reason for me to upgrade to the Battle.net account, since I only play WoW and don’t really have any intention of playing the upcoming Starcraft or Diablo games? Also, have all the connection/account issues related to upgrading from a WoW account to a Battle.net account been resolved?

Thanks!
