Allow for Multiple Codes on Single Panel.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A lot of us out there dual-box and or just have multiple accounts and thus we 
need to protect our accounts across multiple battle.net accounts (see reason 
below). We currently have to resort to using either multiple copies of the 
program or use applications on Android that have since been discontinued.

Reason for Multiple Battle.Net Accounts:
Blizzard currently separates your online client and sends important data to it 
based on "First Logged In". If you use multiple b.net accounts this lets you 
not get bnet messages stuck going to accounts that are online but on other 
computers or in the case of single box multi-accounters, accounts that have 
their windows in the background. Currently no addons support relaying bnet 
messages.

Please help :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have Multiple Battle.Net Accounts.
2. Try To Log Them In At the Same Time.
3. Need Multiple Codes.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Would expect to be able to show a single panel with all of your codes named 
whatever you want, for instance.

Blizzard Primary:
Code 38383838

Blizzard Secondary:
Code 38383838

GuildWars2 Primary:
Code 38383838

GuildWars2 Secondary:
Code 89383883

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest, Windows 8.

Please provide any additional information below.

Sorry, tried to set it to feature request but just dont see where to do that.

I've changed it to a feature request.

Sounds like a good idea and useful change. Can we flush out a bit more 
information and how you would use it.

So are you saying you would like winauth to show all the authenticators 
(presumably you choose which ones or it could just auto load them all and you 
hide some). 

Do you typically have the same set of authenticator at any time? Would this 
change often?

Do you care how the authenticators are stored (in separate files) or not?..give 
me more leeway in changing how they work. For instance, this would be important 
for portability.

What encryption do you use now and would you like it to change? Password per 
authenticator or single password for a whole group?

Would you do the same things to use the codes? i.e. just see them or 
copy/paste, or just a hotkey per code? Something more advanced, e.g. automated

Do you care about skins?

Darn I had a big lengthy comment written to answer your questions and it 
disappeared. I will rewrite this now to answer :), cheers btw!

See below for answers in line to your questions:

---So are you saying you would like winauth to show all the authenticators 
(presumably you choose which ones or it could just auto load them all and you 
hide some).---

I would if possible like for winauth to have an option to show multiple codes 
from different generators on 1 panel. IE you will have a panel that shows codes 
like below and it can auto load all of them that you have it running at start, 
or if you want you can have an option per code to have it hide from the main 
view and allow users to click on specific code generators in a drop down to 
show that code. Here's the example of how I think it would look:

/-------------------------\
|     WinAuth V.UBER      |
| Named Blizzard Gen 1:   |
| TheCode                 |
|                         |
| Name Blizzard Gen 2:    |
| TheCode                 |
|                         |
| Named GW2 Gen 1:        |
| TheCode                 |
|                         |
| Named Rift Gen 1:       |
| TheCode                 |
\-------------------------/

That would be like 1 panel.

---Do you typically have the same set of authenticator at any time? Would this 
change often?---

I use 4 Authenticators for WoW, 4 for Rift, and 4 for GW2. This is due to 
sharing my authenticators with my fiance. So that we can just grab our tablet 
and look up each others codes. Mine are named MyName TheNameOfTheGame (Primary) 
and MyName TheNameOfTheGame (Secondary) for instance to help keep them 
organized that way sorting keeps them in the right alphabetical order.

---Do you care how the authenticators are stored (in separate files) or 
not?..give me more leeway in changing how they work. For instance, this would 
be important for portability.---

I don't see any issues with storing them in any method, though for your later 
question regarding security it may be best to encrypt each in a different file 
to protect it that way if a user got ahold of your directory they would need to 
crack the encryption on each authenticator so as to not have access to all of 
your games.

---What encryption do you use now and would you like it to change? Password per 
authenticator or single password for a whole group?---

I would say password per authenticator for viewing the actual strings that way 
they can't just edit it but for accessing the over-all ui to show the codes, I 
would say maybe 1 master password?

---Would you do the same things to use the codes? i.e. just see them or 
copy/paste, or just a hotkey per code? Something more advanced, e.g. 
automated---

I would say just see them and type them manually, I don't believe in Copy / 
Pasting this type of data, too many chances for interception of the data.

---Do you care about skins?---

I'm a minimalist at heart so I believe the cleaner, techy feel the better :). 
See the attached mockup. Here's the layout,

Top Row is the Title Bar. Right side 3 ---'s is the click area to get the 
options drop down to pop up. Things like what Settings / Areas to open up 
specific Authenticators can be in here. 

The small bar that you see just under this title bar is the Timer that shows 
how long these codes will be shown since the code provided is generated based 
on the time the user will know how long he has until it switched.

The next big block is as follows:

Left Icon can be changed in the options for this authenticator to whatever Icon 
you want. You can have the GW2 / Blizzard / Rift Icon here or just the Generic 
Lock.

Top Row on each "Authenticator" is where the Custom Name of that Authenticator 
is shown. Each of these Authenticators is Sorted Alphabetically by this Name, 
IE 1 2 3 will come in order then it will sort by the Name type, ie if it says 
Blizzard that will be before GuildWars2 then (Primary) will be before 
(Secondary). 

Bottom Row will obviously be the actual Code that's Generated.

When a user right clicks on any of these Authenticator Rows they get options 
for that Authenticator like Sync Time (in case the codes being provided aren't 
in sync with the current time they should be). or View Details, or Rename, etc. 
View Details would show things like the 2 sets of Blizzard Details ie the 
EU-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX or US-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX numbers.

I really hope this helps. I think this would be a totally banging Authenticator 
that you could get lots of donations for. I know I would donate!

Let me know what you think?

Thanks. That has helped a lot.

This interests me because I am finding I am stacking up a whole load of 
authenticators too, not so much for games anymore, but email accounts and other 
websites that are gradually adding 2-factor authentication. I use winauth for 
them (or a duplicate on my phone) and can understand the pain in switching back 
and forth bewteen each one. I never honestly imagined there would be so many.

So yep. This is something I want to do. Can't promise it's going to be quick, 
orders of weeks probably.

Combing what you put together (and reiterating most of it), I'm thinking of:

1. Display very much like you have in your mockup, with a line per 
authenticator ordered by name or added date. Show the name and the code, with a 
way to lock/unlock and get at the details (i.e. raw key, serial, etc). Likely 
when you add one you will choose if you want it shown by default or not. In 
that case you'd see "------" until you click the line and then it would 
display. This is because it would also be an opportunity to prompt for the 
password per authenticator to show the code.

2. If you have another "set" they can be loaded from a different file

3. Locking/unlocking will unload/load the authenticator, i.e. back to "------"

4. All authenticators will be stored in a single portable file. There will be 
an optional master password (like now) as well as using the built-in Windows 
encryption so it is useless if copied to another machine. Additionally the key 
of each authenticator can be encrypted with another password.

5. Some way to do a "copy" if allowed

6. Hotkey can be assigned to each authenticator to run the script - like 
now...which I use :)

7. Skins maybe for the whole panel or each row, but probably just a background 
image rather than the full button control of now.

You said tablet, so are you using a Win8 Rt device or something? Curious. 
Probably be developed for Win desktop first, but don't see why I can't do a 
Win8 app too.

I use a Nexus tablet. I want to get my hands on a MS Surface Tablet for sure, 
but yeah Desktop first and I would love to offer my services helping in any way 
I can. I am currently learning C#, have experience with various other 
languages. Just been a long time since I've done anything with programming. I 
would be happy to try and help though!

I LOVE the way it looks. Would you be willing to let me help test it? I also 
have a Surface Pro Tablet now so I would love to see how it runs on that.

Thanks. Still not quite ready for testing yet, but I'll definitely let you when 
it is, so you can start trying it and can give some feedback.

In case you didn't see the replies.... Holy you deserve a big ole wet slobbery 
kiss... I'm trying to see if I can get some source code to show how Rift's 
authenticator is done so you could have that and then this would be the 
ultimate Game Authenticator...

Now let me donate some money for this kick ass wonderful program!
