Hail, adventurer.
Thank you for your patience while we checked this out for you. My name is Evinderminus, and I looked over your request to remove the authenticator. I understand that this can be pretty frustrating, so we're going to do everything we can to make it as easy as we can on you while still maintaining your account's security. Every once in a while a mobile phone will get replaced, or the software updated and this sort of thing will happen. Looking over your submission, we are unable to remove this authenticator right now due to the fact that we can't identify you as the owner of the account with the information in your ticket.
If you're trying to restore the new application to your account, you'll need some data from your old application. This link has a pretty good walkthrough for how to do it, if you happened to save that old information in a old tome from a while ago, or something.

Don't worry if you can't do that, because we can also remove the old one for you with some more information. To help us make sure that you're actually yourself, you should submit a government issued photo ID by ticket. If you can't scan this, what I like to do is take a clear picture with my cellphone and text the picture to my email address.
We need to be able to see all four sides of the face of your ID to completely verify it's you. This is just a security precaution, since we want to make certain that only you can access your account. No worries, though. If you could just submit a complete, and legible picture of the ID, we'd be happy to give it another look for you.
Alternately, you can discuss this with our representatives via phone or web chat while available. By these methods, we can ask various verification questions that might help us identify you as the account owner. Our phone hours are from 7 AM to 7 PM PDT, and our Live Chat hours are from 6 AM to 10 PM PDT.
I sincerely hope that this experience with Blizzard Entertainment has been helpful and informative! May you continue to enjoy your stay in our world!
