When I woke up this morning and tried to log in, there was an Account Authenticator added to my login screen. I have never added an authenticator to my account at all. Please help my get back into my account! I don't get much time to play and any wasted time like this is very frustrating to me! Thank you very much!

In most cases where a player reports an account as compromised within a month or two of it occurring, we are able to restore most (if not all) items, characters, and gold lost as a result of the compromise. If you recover the account and bring the compromise to our attention by opening an in-game petition, it is extremely likely that we will be able to restore your losses.

I encourage you to take a few moments to review the following resources for more information on how to secure your computer, identify phishing scams, and recover your account:
