For some reason when I change my password for GW2 it also changes it for GW1. I had no idea and almost had a heart attack thinking my GW1 account had been hacked. I do not want both passwords to be the same at all. Why is this even an issue?

I don’t think this is an issue. If you use a strong password, and one that is used only for Guild Wars — not your email account, another game, a forum membership, etc. — you should be just fine.
