Link between GW1 and GW2 passwords

I changed my GW2 password maybe one month ago, then today I tried to log to GW1 and my GW1 password would not work. I tried my GW2 password ‘just in case’ and it worked….

I’m really concerned about this because I don’t want to use the same password for both games. If one of my accounts were to be hacked it would be like giving them the other one as a bonus.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thx

I agree with the above: If the password is secure, and used exclusively for GW/GW2, the risk of account theft is minimized. Also consider using one of our Authentication Systems.
