Introducing Battle.net SMS Protect

We’re pleased to present Battle.net SMS Protect; a free and optional self-help service that will allow you to manage your Battle.net account using any text-enabled cell phone with a data plan.

This new service will allow you to use your mobile phone to:

• Unlock your Battle.net account
• Remove an unwanted authenticator
• Recover your account name
• Reset your password

In addition, you can turn on alerts to have text messages sent directly to your phone alerting you of any suspicious activity, password changes, and security feature additions or removals.

These text messages are a free* and easy way to further protect your account from unauthorized access and changes!

For more information on Battle.net SMS Protect and instructions on how to set it up, visit the Battle.net Mobile Alerts page and FAQ.

We encourage you to take charge of your account security with the security checklist, a Battle.net Authenticator, and by being aware of the impact of buying gold.

*Your phone carrier's standard rate for received text messages may apply.
