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
