Change Your Passwords

Square Enix has locked the accounts of customers that they have identified to have been compromised and have sent an email to them. However, they are still recommending that players even those that did not get the email to change their passwords. You can change the password by going to https://sqex.to/hpxjY.

Another thing you can do to make your account safer is to use One Time Passwords. You can use your Smartphone to do this via a Software token. For more information please see this article.
