And this is the reason why they are not "unhackable."  The algorithm for generating the authenticator code has already been cracked.  You can see this in the open-source authenticator program for the PC.

That link and article is misleading and tries to misrepresent the situation.

Despite showing an image of the keyfob to scare readers, what they are referring to is the World of Warcraft only Dial-In authenticator, which does not and never has been supported by Diablo.

See http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/battle-net-dial-in-authenticator-faq#q-7

There are still no confirmed instances of a real authenticator being "hacked", i.e. keychain, mobile or winauth.

I never cracked the algorithm, it exists in the public domain. I just converted it and wrote it into a convenient portable application.

I still recommend you get a physical authenticator if you can.
