In what is probably the first step in getting our swtor.com accounts setup to become our TOR accounts (Holiday 2011!) BioWare is going to be asking everyone to setup secret questions/answers on their accounts starting after regular maintenance Weds. Here’s the blurb from Allison:
As part of our continuing efforts to ensure account security, we’ll begin asking all SWTOR.com account holders to add security questions to their accounts on Wednesday, 9/21. After our weekly scheduled maintenance (which typically ends around 10:00AM CDT), account holders who log out and log back in will be asked to add these questions.
Eventually, these questions will be used to help verify your identity, so please use answers you are sure to remember.
If you encounter any issues with your account or have any questions, please contact us using the Customer Service contact form on our site: http://www.swtor.com/support/form and we’ll be happy to assist you. Thanks!
Even if this isn’t a step towards converting our forum accounts into game accounts like I think it is.. extra account security is always good!
