Introduction

The RIFT Authenticator for Windows is (on a functional level) a complete rewrite of the RIFT Mobile Authenticator for Android 1.0.4.

Pros and Cons

Pro

• Increases security
  • Knowing your user name and password alone isn't enough any more. The hack of your account is much more difficult.
• Supports multiple accounts
• Source code available
• You're finally able to get "The Ironclad" title even when you don't have an iOS or Android device
• The console application runs on Linux too
• Available as a portable application for use on a USB stick
• Windows Phone application

Contra

• When your Windows system is corrupted/tainted, there is a chance that your authenticator will be corrupted/tainted too

Future plans

• Improve documentation
• Improve the user interface for the Windows Phone application
