I just want to say thanks to the GW2 team, the email authentication just prevented someone from Liaoyang, China from logging into my account. Im not sure how they got my password and I was wondering since I just changed my GW2 password, does that change my original gw pass too?

Linked accounts do share a common password. If you do not own GW, or did not link GW with GW2, then they may have separate passwords, depending on what you chose to use.

I’m happy to hear that email auth helped prevent a compromise of your account! Please feel free to change your password at any time, if you wish to do so.
