Guild Wars 2

I changed my GW2 password maybe one month ago, then today I tried to log to GW1 and my GW1 password would not work. I tried my GW2 password ‘just in case’ and it worked….

I’m really concerned about this because I don’t want to use the same password for both games. If one of my accounts were to be hacked it would be like giving them the other one as a bonus.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thx

You linked those 2 accounts and that’s the result.
I used the linking to change email and password to be unique. That they are shared for GW1 and GW2 is no big issue when this data is not used for something else.

But a very big issue if one of the account is hacked because you loose two accounts in one. This is silly.

The risk is relatively low if you are using unique email AND unique password for both. Only a keylogger on your PC will be able to get it (IMHO).
