Do accessories count as armor?

A lot of the passive require 5 types of one armor (light, medium, heavy)... do accessories figure in that count?

I have two light armor pieces equipped from the Warlock set and then two Warlock rings and a Warlock pendant... is that five light armor?

    It will tell you when you hover over a set piece how many you have equipped. There's your answer.

    It gives me a five item set bonus but does it give me the 5 same armor type bonus... eNumbra prob right at no.

    Except he was wondering for armor type sets.

    No accessories are not armor, so that doesn't count towards your five light to get the armor type set bonus.

    I know. If you hover over a piece of armor of the set, it will tell you how many count as part of the set. If you have one piece of the set as armor and three accessories with the same set name, it will say you have one piece of the armor set. Again, there's your answer.

    It tells you you are wearing 2 pieces of light armor?

    It's five pieces of the Warlock set, but 2 pieces of light armor.

    Accessories never count as armor for passives, just like clothing does not. Accessories do count for the achievements that require wearing all blue or purple gear. Accessories do not count towards the Justice system achievement for being stripped by a guard.
