Phase 4: Troubleshooting & Management
This is the most important part of the guide because issues with the Security Key are notoriously frustrating for SWTOR players.
How to set it up so it works:
- Log into your account on https://www.swtor.com.
- Go to "Security Key" section in your account settings.
- Click "Add Security Key."
- You will see a Serial Number (starts with SWTOR) and a Secret Key (a long code).
- Open your working authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator).
- Tap "Add Code" -> "Enter setup key."
- Enter the Secret Key exactly. Name it "SWTOR."
- The app generates a 6-digit code. Enter that code into the SWTOR website.
- Save the "Removal Key" that the website gives you. Write it down physically.
