If you are being asked for an authentication code when logging into the game client or Account Management, Spankyrx, but did not personally associate an Authenticator with your account, your account has likely been compromised. =/

Because of this, it's important that appropriate steps be taken to secure your account. You can find those steps here:



This guide will walk you through every step of the account recovery process. Securing your computer, securing your account information, reporting any losses, and prepping for the restoration process—all of this is included. I sincerely encourage you to give the guide a read and follow the instructions provided within.
