Possible to use two authenticators on one account?

I'm currently using the mobile authenticator on my Android phone, and I recently purchased an Android tablet on which I'd also like to install the mobile authenticator. Can I do this? Can I install it on both devices and use whichever happens to be closest to me?

From my experience, each download of the authenticator gets a new serial number. You can only have one serial number attached to your account for an authenticator as far as I know. You can transfer the one on your phone to your tablet by following the instructions on battle.net and the ones provided in the app, but wouldn't be able to use the one on the phone, again as far as I know.
You might find more information on battle.net about the use of multiple authenticators.

Thanks. I had assumed that is the case but was curious if anyone had tried this... you've saved me from wasting valuable minutes this evening. :)

You may be able to insert the Serial and Restore Code from your phone into the tablet to have the same authenticator on two devices. I've never tried it but give it a shot.

If sas had not said this I was going to suggest it myself

Most likely both devices would have to be rooted, and it's very possible that the data on the original android device could not be copied to another device b/c the authenticatior program somehow hashes the device information so that it can't be used on another device. (If not than shame on Blizzard's engineer's honestly.)

You can do this. I run the same authenticator on iPhone, Android and in winauth.
