Following in the steps of Blizzard, Square Enix, and a select few other companies, Sony Online Entertainment has announced that the company will be releasing their own version of the authenticator.
Right now, players can purchase a dongle at Sony’s website for $9.99 (USD) with free shipping for the time being. Sometime down the line, an iOS and Android app will be released, but there is no timetable for release.
This will no doubt be a pleasant addition to any SOE fan’s accessories. There are no plans to my understanding for a Blizzard-like incentive (in-game pet).
