ArenaNet implementing mandatory password change for Guild Wars 2 players

If you have logged in to Guild Wars 2 lately & have noticed a bright red banner at the top of your launcher proposing that you change your password, your time is just about up. On February 7, 2013, all players who haven't changed their password since September 12, 2013 will need to opt for a new password before playing the Guild Wars 2 gold game.

Interestingly adequate, ArenaNet has compiled a blacklist of passwords that have already been exploited by hackers in the past, so you might be out of luck trying to use "12345" or "password" or even "massivelyisawesome."

Head on over to the account management site to alter your password today.
