As soon as I saw the password limit increase in GW1 I updated my password as inspired by xkcd (funny to see the same cartoon in the newspost later) so I completely avoided the whole problem.

Anyways, I suspect a couple of my passwords are hijacked because I have several “insecure” passwords I use virtually everywhere that’s not important. It would be both useful and interesting to see a list of these hijacked passwords on the account page, as in everything that was tried against my account name. Also good to know whether any of my “secure” passwords are in that list.

Opinions?

Lets see if I catch you right. You want a display on the account page of the webpage that shows you all the wrong passwords that have been used with your account name?

I think this might be usefull, aslong as it doesnt show up the right passwords – only if someone did put a wrong one. Or you can check how many times someone attempted to login, but wrote the wrong password.

You always continue forward, but there will be curves before you reach the end of the road.

Well I think some places show the IP address/area of the last place to log in, not sure if it shows attempts that failed however, but that would be a way to watch your account to see if someone was attempting to access it from another location, granted if the hacker is in your same city or is spoofing your IP address you wouldn’t be able to tell, but that’s generally more work than those people prefer to do, it’s all about quantity and easy targets.
