Guild Wars 2

I just got a verification email. Someone tried to access my account from China. Does getting the mail indicate that he had a valid password?

I’ve been working with computers for most of my life, and I can get pretty paranoid about passwords. I’m as careful as I can be with them. If someone was able to get mine, I want to know how.

(PS I did NOT click the authentication link. I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid!)

If it appears an authentication link for you to allow/deny access to your account, it means someone have your account name and password. I suggest you to change your password from here: https://account.guildwars2.com/account
I can bring to you million ways to get passwords, but no one will know how he/she got it.
Using the same password to multiple sites are the main cause.

Great… thanks. Gonna go back and change all my important passwords now. Guess I got to be more creative from now on.

No problem. Hope your account remains safe.

Even if you come up with a really long password that people are not likely to guess, don’t use that same password at multiple locations where you care about your account.
