Setting up 2-Step Auth for PC (For peeps without a phone)
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 10:04 pm
For the ease of not having to dig through the Reddit pages to figure it all out here is what you do:
1 - Ensure you have a Google Account with 2-Step Authentication setup in it:
a - Login to your Google Account
b - Go to Security
c - Enable 2-Step Authentication following all the steps provided
2 - Download and Un-Zip the PC version of WinAuth and add it to your Desktop (https://code.google.com/p/winauth/downl ... 3.0.21.zip)
3 - Ensure you have Windows .NET Framework 4.0 or Newer installed. Here is a link to get it, if you do not have it (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=17851)
4 - Log-in to your Wildstar Account
a - Go to the Account Management Screen
b - Select the ADD button next to 2-Step Authentication
c - Select and Copy the Code it shows you
5 - Open WinAuth and Select the ADD button
a - Select Google from the list of types
b - Paste the Code you copied from the Wildstar Account page into the Secret Code Box in WinAuth
c - Use the 6 character Verification Code that WinAuth gives you to enter into the Wildstar Account page where it asks for the Authentication Code (you have a limited amount of time to do this)
d - Click the OKAY button in WinAuth
e - You may now enter a special Password unique to WinAuth, if you wish to, along with other settings (this password is used every time you open WinAuth) (optional)
Now from this point on, when logging into Wildstar, when a Authentication Code is requested, open WinAuth and select the Refresh button for a new 6 character Authentication Code to enter into Wildstar when logging in (you have a limited time before the code is no longer valid, if this happens just press the Refresh button again in WinAuth for a new code)... Afterwhich you can close WinAuth...
Hope this helps...
