Someone from Hefei tried to log into my account, I dont know how they got my password or email… but they did and the log in was denied, I was sent an email with the information telling me so.

Now when I go to account management and try to change my password, everything I try says: Unavailable password. You or someone else has used it before, or it’s on a known list of passwords stolen from other games or websites. Please use a new, unique password for your Guild Wars 2 account. We recommend a new one made with four random, unrelated words, as shown in this comic strip.

No matter what I type.. that comes up… So I’m not sure If the email was fake, It was In my Inbox (not spam) and addressed by ArenaNet([email protected])

Is this a problem or should I try changing later?
