Guild Wars 2

ok so basically i entered my military email address for my account when I made my account since i couldnt use my personal account for whatever reason. this account can only be accessed onboard my ship. i did this not knowing there is an implemented authentication verification for when u log in from a new IP address. this will make things very difficult because I am on deployment and when I get home and try to log into the game and that authentication pops up…I wont be around to actually click the verify link so I can log in. now ive noticed there is an option to REMOVE authentication but it gives me a warning that my account security will GREATLY be reduced

my question is…as long as I dont give ANY account info to anyone…will i be ok? or am i generally just plain at risk by removing this??

thanks in advance!!!

“That is easy, you only need to write a ticket to Customer Support indicating that you want to change the email associated to your account. Provide them with the old and the new one. "

seems like your best bet

Basically if you don’t have account authentication on it means your password is the only thing protecting your account. If anyone guesses/steals that then they’re in.

If you’re confident your password is safe then that shouldn’t be a problem. Or you could change it to a unique password you haven’t ever used for anything before, and keep it unique by not using it for anything else.

But changing your email address might be the best bet in the long-run.

@danikat

thanks thats probably what im going to end up doing. Like you said it should be no issue as long as its a complicated pw and I dont input it into unofficial gw2 websites. thanks guys!!!

Don’t use your account password anywhere else (guild forums, fansites, etc).
Be careful with suspicious sites or sites with low protection.
And of course, don’t visit gold seller sites, those are full of malware to steal your account.
If you can do all that you should be relatively safe.
