Hacked?

Anyone else get a message that a Chinese person tried logging into your account?

Should I change password or it doesn't matter since I have to click the okay in my e-mail for them to be able to access?

Thats common. Just change your password and make sure not to turn off the email authentication. :)

If they give that message in your email this means they GOT your password, just can't login cause you didn't give them access.

Lol, I have no idea how they got my password. I never said it or have a fansite account.

Well thanks, I changed my password. Thank you for the verification thing.

People are taking usernames and passwords and even emails and trying them on GW2.

If you're using a common password on GW2 that you've used on other sites I'd suggest you change it. Here's an example - a while back someone hacked Battlefield Heroes and leaked the whole entire user bases usernames and passwords and now may try it on GW2 in hopes for a match.

lulz I got the same thing and was locked out of my account for a couple days. When I was finally able to log on I changed everything (account email/password/etc).
