We have passwords for our accounts but it would be a great idea where we can put a pin or a password for our toons as well. Usually phishing goes for account password only but cannot go for the inner game options.

There already is extra protection for guild wars 2 accounts, Mobile Authenticator Beta. From what I understand if someone trys to access your account (even with correct email/pass) from an unknown IP address then they still cant kitten your account. Not until you then use your Mobile Authenticator Beta on your phone then go to the link anet provide and then allow connections to your account from this new unknown IP address. You can access the page about it here on the forums Go to "My Account > Security and you should see info about Mobile Authenticator Beta there.

If my account is used from a new IP it sends me an email asking for my allowance of said IP address to access my account. I haven’t done the Mobile Auth, yet, but plan to give it a try sometime soon.

Yeah, the mobile authenticator. It links up with the google authenticator app. In order for someone who’s not an authorized location to log into your account, they have to have physical access to your device you have the authenticator on.

Personally, I have it enabled on my account as well as on my gmail accounts.
