Diablo – way to get an authenticator without a smartphone and without paying

battle.netdiablo-3starcraft-2world of warcraft

I don't have a smartphone (I have a symbian with access to the Internet), or iPod/iPad. Are there any other ways for me to get an authenticator from Blizzard without paying $6 for the physical authenticator?

Best Answer

Blizzard used to offer a J2ME-based authenticator for older phones, but they have since discontinued it. They now offer authenticators for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7.

Other than a phone, your options would therefore be a tablet, iPod (touch), or the physical authenticator.

For those without such a device, the other answers propose alternative means. Android emulation may be a good way to go, seeing as you would still be using the official authenticator.
