gw2 is a really good game I LOVE the game play but when I am trying to change passwords because I have found better passwords for my account but I can’t because I must follow the rules of

1. at lest 8 characters long
2. if it has been used once it can not be used again

so because of this I can not use the password that I use for every thing ells and if someone has used the password before I cannot use it.

when I first started playing gw2 I had some password issues I fix them after a few password changes and so on. so when I fixed it I want to change back to the password that I originally used but surprise, surprise i can’t do it which means i have to have more then one password to remember.

please change this by not making people have to use 8 digit passwords and make new passwords every time

We’re committed to helping players keep their game accounts safe. I understand what you’re saying, Ieboy, and sure, it’s a bit of a challenge to choose just the right password, but it’s worth it in enhanced account security, so we stand behind the password rules.
