Good Idea! (On security)
this would be better in the suggestions forum.
2 factor authentication is a great idea! Everyone should use it whenever they can!
So, since Google uses OpenID 2.0 authentication, why not give us the option to use our 2-factor protected Google account to log in to your game and/or forums?
Or could we get a Anet app for that?
Additionally, your right, online databases, especially forum databases have proven to be a low hanging fruit for attackers looking to get email, login, and password list as well as distribute malware via various methods. So, perhaps we could be allowed to have a Anet forum specific password that is tied to our account, but different than our game and account settings main password? Turbine did this, and I thought it was a great idea, for the same reasons you mention in your article.
Security is primarily our own responsibility, but you do have the ability to further empower us to protect ourselves.
Keep fighting the good fight! You guys have built a awesome game here! I can tell you have the talent to implement the above and more (if not the hours in the day to do so)…
