I would like to see a better account security. Why not make it possible to for example add authenticators to the accounts? Like the Google Authenticator. Many games gives that choice!

    I have always wondered why they never have added in an authenticator. Heck I can't even remember the last MMO I have played that didn't have this. Maybe we can hope they add one in and have it where it gives you a small crown reward for using it similar to swtor.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    ESO does have double authentication. The first is PW of course and the second is identifying your PC and confirming it via a code sent to your email.

    In other words, as with any PW it should be decent and should not be the same as your email PW.

    Because zos probably did a cost benifits analysis and doesnt want to shell out the money to design an authenticator for onesies and twosies that get hacked due to poor security on their personal computers.

    Zos will only add more security if there is a wide pandemic which causes them to lose customer confidence and money at an alarming rate. For the onsies and twosies a support ticket can be created and solved at the customer service level.
