Since the release of patch 9.1.5 for WoW, only account owners who use a Battle.net authenticator are allowed to search for teammates for dungeons, raids or PvP and enter their own description texts for the search. This is primarily to curb spam from sales groups that are not officially allowed to be listed.

As can be seen from the game files for patch 9.2 discovered by dataminers, in addition to the Authenticator, SMS Protect will probably be required for the complete Dungeon Browser experience.

SMS Protect for Dungeon Browser usage? This is in the game files for 9.2

Dataminers have found identifiers in the so-called "global strings" that indicate you need to enable SMS authentication for your Battle.net account for group browsing.

  • LFG_AUTHENTICATOR_BUTTON_MYTHIC_PLUS_TOOLTIP - You can't post a Mythic+ group without a keystone until you secure your account with the Battle.net Authenticator and SMS Protect
  • GROUP_FINDER_AUTHENTICATOR_POPUP_DESC - Unlock full access to the group finder by attaching an Authenticator and SMS Protect to your account.|n|nThe Battle.net Authenticator is a free, easy-to-use service that protects your account from intruders, and SMS Protect notifies you when important changes are made to your account.Click "Activate" to launch the Authenticator setup website.
  • LFG_AUTHENTICATOR_BUTTON_TOOLTIP - You can't edit this field until you secure your account with the Battle.net Authenticator and SMS Protect

Dungeonbrowser almost useless without SMS Protect

In summary, these strings mean that you will not be able to list a Mythic Plus Keystone, you will not have full access to all features of the Dungeon Browser, and you will not be able to add a description to your group search unless you have secured your account with Authenticator and SMS Protect.

On the official Battle.net site you can get instructions and download for the Authenticator app, which allows you to protect up to three accounts against unauthorized logins for free.

Do you already have SMS Protect to protect your Battle.net account? Are you still using the plastic Authenticator hanging on your keychain? Write us in the comments.
