Add an Authenticator, Adopt a Core Hound

Show everyone in Azeroth that you’re serious about account security with man’s (and orc’s) best friend! Beginning today, any World of Warcraft player who protects his or her Battle.net account using either a Blizzard Authenticator or the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator will get their very own in-game Core Hound Pup, a fiery and feisty guard-dog pet.
