Sounds like you were hacked. Best thing to do is change both you battle.net and email passwords.
Might want to check and see if they messed with any of your characters in game. I know when I was hacked they sold all my stuff and server changed the toon. If they did do any of that might want to add an authenticator.

Yeah, you had a temporary ban because of it. I had a permanent ban until I told them my account was compromised. You got lucky that was all they did :)

GET AN AUTHENTICATOR!
It's freaking $6 and this can't happen anymore. Seriously, why do people ever not get one of these?

They aren't sold in every country, bro. Calm down a little.
And not everyone has a smartphone.
I think there is an option for everyone anywhere... they have one for any phone that will let you do apps now, tablets as well, there is a phone # you can call (not sure if that's US only or not), the physical authenticator and such as well. If someone really badly needs a physical authenticator you can usually ask someone in your guild to help you out with getting it to you as well. I've done that a handful of times.

The Dial-in one is US only and it doesn't seem to work. I had it but they were still able to log onto my characters.

While I agree and use an authenticator myself, You probably could have calmed down a little with it.
To the OP: If you plan to get an authenticator but are either unable to buy currently or are waiting on it to arrive, try changing your password and saving it in a note document and always copy/paste it into WoW. This helps prevent keybinders. Its not 100% and yes you can technically still get hacked but a lot of people swear by this method. Just an idea.

I'd say get the device itself since you seem to live in the US (even though the phone option hasn't worked for whatever reason, make sure it's actually applied to your account).

You can also use an on-screen keyboard to type in your passwords.

reason people dont have authenticator: they cant buy it.
Explanation: basically they are either too young to have a credit card to buy or they cant find some1 with a credit card.
OR
scared of buying stuff online, and this is a big one.
i only managed to buy it last year, and ive been playing for 6 years, and i wanted one since 2009(it came out in '08 but i didnt know).

Not true, it doesn't ship to some countries and most of those people in those countries don't have access to a smartphone. if you are in one of those countries, I am not trying to offend you in anyway
