Changed my password tonight, like many other players no doubt. I already screwed up trying to login earlier and I’m sure I’ll do it again once or twice. Complicating it this time is using a password I’ve never used for anything before.
Now, if you’re wondering why this is even worth mentioning, then you probably haven’t heard. Blizz got hacked (insert get an authenticator joke here). As companies are inclined to do, they’re informing us a few days later. Passwords, security questions and authenticator info was apparently grabbed. So, yeah…time to change that password.
Oh, where did you read that?
NVM, I found it
Fail on my part. I should’ve linked it in the first place. That’s what I get for trying to post quick in between evaluating outfits.
I just wrote my new battlenet password down on the same postit where I wrote the new password for my battlenet email account (they are different).
I’ve gotten notifications that the password to my battlenet email account was changed when I *didn’t* do it a couple of times recently. One was definitely a hacking, because it came from China. The other was perhaps someone who thought that they’d chosen that name for their own email account. In any case, I made my new password more complicated, with the result that I had to write it down. My new battlenet password is more complicated than the old one, too.
I just made the most complicated password ever, and now….I am stressing about writing down incase I forget it….but i don’t want to write it anywhere, it just feels wrong!! lol
I used to write my passwords down, but I’ve found my memory is pretty good. Though, this morning I did forget that I’d changed it. Heh.
Thank you for the head’s up! I changed it to something stronger, it will take me years to remember it, lol!
I hate changing passwords =/
You like fishing…I’m never sure what to think with you.
LOL
