Download Winauth for Windows 10 download winauth for windows 10 WinAuth. WinAuth is a portable, open-source Authenticator for Windows that provides counter or time-based RFC 6238 authenticators and common implementations, such as the Google Authenticator. WinAuth can be used with many Bitcoin trading websites as well as games, supporting Battle.net (World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Diablo), Guild Wars 2, Glyph (Rift and ArcheAge), WildStar, RuneScape, SWTOR and Steam. WinAuth provides an alternative solution to combine various two-factor authenticator services in one convenient place. Downloads. Latest Stable Download – 3.5. This current version of WinAuth. New Features in 3.5. This version adds support for Steam trading confirmations. Features winauth.xml , normally stored in your Windows roaming profile) is in the same folder as the WinAuth program, it will use that instead and switch into “portable” mode, not saving any other information to the computer. Multiple Authenticators. An unlimited number of authenticators can be stored, each with their own personalized name and icon for quick reference. The WinAuth application can be sized as preferred or automatically displayed to fit. Automatic or On-Demand. Each authenticator can be set to automatically display and refresh the current code or to only calculate and show the code when clicked. Security and Encryption. All private authenticator data is encrypted with your own personal password, salted and enhanced with key strengthening to reduce the ability for brute force attacks. The data can also be protected using Windows in-built Data Protection API, which will “lock” the data to a single computer or account, making it completely unusable if copied to another computer. A YubiKey can be used to further enchance the protection by providing a secret key stored only on the YubiKey itself, and must be physically plugged into the computer before WinAuth can be opened. Each authenticator can also additionally have its own secondary password that is required before any codes are decrypted, calculated and displayed. Finally, all codes are drawn directly onto the screen to prevent any malware from “windows spying”. Hot-keys. Each authenticator can be assigned a hot-key to notify, display, clipboard copy or inject the current code into another application. An advanced injection script can also be created to automate username, password and code entry. Scripts are part of the private data and also fully encrypted along with the authenticator data.

Steam Trading Confirmations. If you registered SteamGuard with WinAuth in version 3.3, you will need to remove it from your Steam account and add it again.

You can go into the normal Steam client, choose Account Details, then click “Manage Steam Guard”. Click the Remove Authenticator button and enter the recovery code (aka revocation code – found from right-clicking in WinAuth). When right-clicking , click the menu item called “Confirmations…”. This will login with your username/password and show your current trade confirmations. You can click to view more details, and use the buttons to accept or reject them.

En Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet incorpora un modo de juego innovador que permite a los usuarios jugar a su manera, pero manteniendo el desarrollo tradicional que Guild Wars mostró desde sus orígenes, y se mantiene, como en su anterior entrega, sin cuota de suscripción mensual. La saga original de Guild Wars ha vendido más de 6 millones de unidades en todo el mundo, y sigue disfrutando de una serie de jugadores activos y leales que esperan con impaciencia esta secuela. Características Las decisiones personales afectan al desarrollo del juego: Una experiencia dinámica de juego interactiva. Sus opciones y acciones generan un efecto real en el mundo que te rodea. ¿Los habitantes lucharán contra la arrasadora legión centauro o sucumbirán al ataque? ¡Tú decides! Sistema de eventos dinámicos: hace referencia a cualquier evento que ocurre en una zona persistente como resultado de la interacción de los personajes explorando el mundo. Son llamados dinámicos porque cambian constantemente en nuevos eventos, creando un efecto cascada.

Debido a esto, no existe un concepto real de fracaso o éxito, el resultado de cualquier evento simplemente causará un cambio en la zona.

  • " Get a Free Item Pack with Every Activation!"--Do Incentives Increase the Adoption Rates of Two-Factor Authentication?
    ... ...; aop ... Karoline Busse*, Sabrina Amft, Daniel Hecker, and Emanuel von Zezschwitz “Get a Free Item Pack with Every Activation!” Do Incentives Increase the Adoption Rates of Two-Factor Authentication? https://doi.org/..., Received ...; accepted ... Abstract: Account security is an ongoing issue in practice. Two-Factor Authen- tication (2FA) is a mechanism which could help mitigate this problem, however adoption is not very high in most domains. Online gaming has adopted an in- teresting approach to drive adoption: Games offer small rewards such as visual modifications to the player’s avatar’s appearance, if players utilize 2FA. Inthis paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of these incentives and investigate how they can be applied to non-gaming contexts. We conducted two surveys, one recruiting gamers and one recruiting from a general population. In addition, we conducted three focus group interviews to evaluate various incentive designs for both, the gaming context and the non-gaming context. We found that visual modifications, which are the most popular type of gaming-related incentives, are not as popular in non-gaming contexts. However, our design explorations indicate that well-chosen incentives have the potential to lead to more users adopting 2FA, even outside of arXiv:1910.07269v1 [cs.CR] 16 Oct 2019 the gaming context.

Buy 유지. 2H16 - 1H17 인터넷주 Top Pick 제시 2016년 하반기부터 2017년 상반기까지 다수의 모바일게임 신작 론칭일정이 집중되어 있다는 점과 2017년 상반기 MXM, 리니지이터널 등 PC게임 기대신작이 론칭된다는 점을 감안할 때 동사를 2H16 - 1H17 인터넷주 Top Pick 으로 꼽지 않을 수 없다. 우선 모바일게임의 경우 Lineage Red Knights, Lineage On Mobile, 리니지2 레전드, 리니지2 모바일 한국(가칭. 넷마블게임즈 개발, 퍼블리싱), 리니지2 모바일 중국(가칭. 스네일게임즈 개발, 퍼블리싱), 아이온 레기온스 등 동 사 본사가 개발한 Big 4 블록버스터 PC게임 IP를 활용한 신작들이 3Q16 - 1Q17 집중 론칭되는 바, 이 중 최소한 1-2개 정도는 히트할 가능성은 충분하다고 판단한다. 그리고, PC게임의 경우 동사 본사가 개발하는 5번째 블록버스터 PC게임 신작 리니지이터널의 글로벌 매출은 지금 까지 동사 본사가 개발한 Big 4 PC게임 중 유일하게 북미/유럽 시장 히트를 시현한 블레이드앤소울 글로벌 매출을 능가할 가능성이 크다고 판단한다. 리니지이터널은 개발단계부터 한국은 물론 글로벌 시장을 겨냥하여 개발했다는 점, 한국 및 글로벌 주요 국가간 큰 시차 없이 글로벌 론칭을 단행한다는 점 등을 감안할 때 지금까지의 본사 개발 Big 4 PC게임 타이틀을 크게 능가하는 Great Hit를 시현할 가능성도 충분하다고 판단한다. 그리고, PC게임 신작 MXM, 리니지이터널 등은 모두 글로벌 시장을 겨냥한 모바일게임도 개발할 계획이라는 점도 주목할 필요가 있다. 2Q16-3Q16 숨고르기 전망. 단기 대응 고민? 근본적으로는 2H16-1H17 황금일정을 보라 동사 분기별 실적은 2Q16-3Q16은 잠시 숨을 고른 다음 4Q16부터는 가파르게 상승하고 2017년은 매 분기 고성 장이 지속될 것으로 전망한다. 단기대응 측면에선 2Q16 - 3Q16 실적 숨고르기 가능성을 어느 정도 감안하는 전 략도 투자자의 성향에 따라선 의사결정의 옵션일 수도 있다.

  • The Presentation of Self in Massively Multiplayer Online Games, to Investigate How Players Create and Maintain Versions of Self in These Environments
    The Presentation of Self in Massively Multiplayer Online Games Alexander D. Meredith A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2014 Copyright Statement This work is the intellectual property of the author. You may copy up to 5% of this work for private study, or personal, non-commercial research. Any re-use of the information contained within this document should be fully referenced, quoting the author, title, university, degree level and pagination. Queries or requests for any other use, or if a more substantial copy is required, should be directed to the owner of the Intellectual Property Rights. 1 Abstract This thesis examined the presentation of self in Massively Multiplayer Online games, to investigate how players create and maintain versions of self in these environments. Key research questions concerned the motivation for engaging in these behaviours, the impact of such activities on their offline lives and for those that did not engage in the active presentation of self, why they did not do this. There were three studies in the thesis, employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The first study consisted of interviews (n=29), analysed using Grounded theory, and the second an online focus group (n=13 participants) explored using thematic analysis. These results were combined to create a theoretical model for the presentation of self in MMOs. Based on these concept statements a third study (n=408) was created, using an online questionnaire design. Results indicated that a five factor model was the most satisfactory means of explaining the presentation of self in MMOs – with Presentation of the Existing Self, Social Interaction, Gaming Aesthetics, Presenting Different Sides of the Self, and Emotional Impact as the salient factors.

  • Causes, Magnitude and Implications of Griefing in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games
    Causes, Magnitude and Implications of Griefing in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games LEIGH SIMON ACHTERBOSCH This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Information Technology) Faculty of Science and Technology Federation University Australia PO Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat, Victoria 3353 Australia Submitted in April 2015 Abstract Abstract This thesis presents findings from research into the global phenomenon known as griefing that occurs in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs). Griefing, in its simplest terms, refers to the act of one player intentionally disrupting another player’s game experience for personal pleasure and potential gain. For too long it has been unknown how pervasive griefing is, how frequently griefing occurs and, in particular, the impact on players that are subjected to griefing. There has also been limited research regarding what causes a player to perform griefing. This thesis addresses these concerns by answering the research question “What are the causes and implications of griefing in Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, and what magnitude of griefing exists in this genre?” Mixed method research was employed using the “Sequential Explanatory Strategy”, in which a quantitative phase was followed by a qualitative phase to strengthen the findings. The quantitative phase consisted of a survey that attracted 1188 participants of a representative player population. The qualitative phase consisted of interviews with 15 participants to give more personalised data. The data was analysed from the perspectives of different demographics and different associations to griefing. The thesis contributed original findings regarding the causes, magnitude and implications of griefing in MMORPGs.

    nrik v He d a apa l sk Ma “WHAT IS YOUR DPS, HERO?” Ludonarrative dissonance and player perception of story and mechanics in MMORPGs. Master Degree Project in Informatics One year Level 30 ECTS Spring term 2016 Athanasios Karavatos Supervisor: Björn Berg Marklund Examiner: Mikael Johannesson 1 Abstract This thesis studies the MMORPGs and the ludonarrative dissonance that exist in the complexity of their design. Given the massive multiplayer nature of these games, players of different ambitions and gameplay preference need to coexist, which is a massive challenge for both the players themselves and the designers of these worlds. The balance of these two major aspects of the game, what affects the players and this tension, is the focal point of this thesis. By conducting a survey through various MMORPG player bases, this thesis concludes that this tension is not only a balance between narrative and mechanics but of other aspect as well. These aspects, intertextuality and community, this thesis argues, are the extra aspects that are tight connected with the balancing of narrative and mechanics in a MMORPG and the creation of these complex games and world. All these aspects are affected by the design decisions and affecting of how the players perceive the game world.

  • A MODEL for ETHICAL DECISIONMAKING in Mmos the Commodification of Play in Diablo 3
    A MODEL FOR ETHICAL DECISIONMAKING IN MMOs The Commodification of Play in Diablo 3 – Understanding the Real Money Market Place Patrick Prax Uppsala University Authors Note Patrick Prax, Uppsala University, Department of Informatics and Media, Box 513, 75120 Uppsala, Sweden, [email protected] A MODEL FOR ETHICAL DECISIONMAKING IN MMOs Abstract This paper critically analyzes the real money market place, a feature of the game Diablo 3. To do so I compare the concepts of the audience commodity, prosumption, produsage and playbour to the model of Diablo’s real money market place. The conclusion is that the market place is not fully described by any of the proposed models but is something in- between. Using interview, participant observation and online media this paper then explains the consequences of this feature on the game and the emerging game culture of Diablo. With letting the business model of Diablo 3 influence the game design Blizzard is not acting according to its own core value but instead following suggestions from marketing research and let the design follow the business model. (Hamari and Lehdonvirtä, 2010) This behavior of a company does fit the first filter of the propaganda model. (Herman and Chomsky, 1988) Game companies as media producers are in a capitalist system forced to act according to financial considerations and not artistic or ethical ones. It marks the departure of even AAA games from a focus on producing the best possible product for their audience to abusing audience labor and to forging games after a monetization model instead of vice versa.
