You would be surprised. I just made HOPE, and then I got 4 ascended pistols to burn... LUCKILY I saved them.

I put all of mine in a simple .txt file in the game folder. I've never lost it yet.Yeah, wonderful - if you even read my 2nd post, you would have noticed that I mentioned 2 computers.... I dont want a way to remember a new password. I dont want to put yet another password into it with an authenticator. I want to use the password I WANT to use, even if I have used it before. PERIOD! As I said, this isnt the Pentagon. I dont need a super-secret 87 character encrypted password that God himself couldnt crack. I just dont care. There is nothing in this account that I care if I lose. Its a GAME. I JUST DONT CARE!!! Let me say that again for clarity. I DONT CARE, its just a GAME. It just isnt worth the hassle to keep coming up with new ones all the time. Its MY game. I bought it. Let ME decide HOW I WANT TO SECURE IT.!.!.! Once more, for effect: Let ME decide HOW I WANT TO SECURE IT.!.!.!

Ok, so my original post said: let ME ME ME decide if I want to use that password or not.Why? because its simpler and easier for ME to remember. Thank you for saying EXACTLY what I said....

Personally I dont. I used to have issues with that in WoW though. Anytime I had a problem, I would e mail it from my "real" e mail address which they always responded "this isnt the email account associated with this game account", and then I would have to tell them (yet again) that the account I used for the game is a BS e mail account I made just for that purpose and it wasnt really used for anything....... But then, anyone that has gotten their accounts hacked I would bet $$$ to doughnuts DID use their real e mail addresses.... But this isnt the point of this entire thread either. But the point being, which you ignored, WHY MAKE THE PASSWORD A 1 TIME SHOT when the REAL hole in the login is the e mail account?

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/thousands-guild-wars-2-accounts-hacked-flna985019 Rule number 1 for ANY GAME is do NOT NOT NOT make the e mail address a part of the login system. I havent a clue why you would. THAT is the weak point right there. I create a character. I meet someone. Hey I want to chat with you on this subject outside the game, whats your e mail address.... Step 1 of being hacked is accomplished. Step 2 run an auto password cracker on it. Doesnt matter WHAT your password is, or HOW MANY TIMES you change it - they can still hack into it, because it is linked to your E MAIL ADDRESS..... DUH! Now post all the rebuttables you want to this, but the point is, once they have your e mail address, which you CAN NOT change, they CAN hack you.... So WHY make the password so damn hard to control when the real weak point of being hacked ISNT changeable?

Or, you know, you could do just as I said... Post a warning, and if the fools get their account hacked then so be it. As for writing it down.. I drive a truck. so 2 weeks from now, when I finally get time to sit down and play, I can look to try to find the piece of paper I scribbled the new password down on. Or... You know, you could do just as I said... Post a warning, and if the fools get their account hacked then so be it. Or is that just too damn simple?

How about a simple WARNING -- YOU HAVE USED THIS PASSWORD BEFORE!! Instead of FORCING ME to make up a BS password that I will NEVER remember when I change passwords because all the ones I would USUALLY USE have already been used and it WONT let me reuse them, even though I UNDERSTAND THE RISK! Warn me, and then let ME ME ME decide if I want to use that password or not. Instead I have to make up something... Then when I get on my laptop a few days/weeks later, I cant remember what it was changed to, so I have to make up ANOTHER NEW BS password.... Stop the insanity. Let ME ME ME decide if I want to re-use it.!.!.!.!
