ESO needs authenticators NOW!

While I understand that zeni believes their current IP logging system to be flawless, like every MMO developer in history, the choice to show ACCOUNT NAMES for pretty much every in game social action is beyond foolish to me. You have given away 50% of our initial security to anyone who happens to own a pencil and a game client.
I was very surprised, and quite frankly, disturbed, when the account-name-for-everything system went into full effect. Any guild member, friend, or mail recipient/sender that any of us come into contact with has the potential to store our account name....
You know, those account names where you offer no other form of protection except a password.... and we all know how easy passwords are to break these days...
Please, please, please! Give us authenticators, or embed a system to use the google authenticators, or anything! Something!
The number of 'gold sellers' alone currently ingame is enough reason to make any experienced MMO player want to run for the hills. It's only a matter of time until they start targeting guild leaders and high volume traders.
Zeni.... Handle this!
Considering the number of other flaws in this game I am very concerned that there will be a breach of our personal information. I have canceled my sub and hope they do not cache my payment information anywhere. I haven't done it yet, but I think it is probably best to also remove all address information and switch to a dedicated email account.1 -
Richard_Ralh✭✭I agree too! This game needs authenticators! SWTOR & Blizzard already have them, and others use mobile (cellphone) security authenticator. Please, ESO, give us authenticators for extra security.Richard_Ralh0 -

✭✭✭✭✭OP is incorrect that knowing someone's login name is half the security. More like 25%.
The double authentication requires someone to know ones email, email password and the game password.
The only person I know that has his ESO game hacked had been using the same simple PW since early WoW and clearly used it for his email as well. He wasn't to bright about it.
If someone uses the same password for their email and other accounts like the game they're asking to be hacked.0 -

More like 0%, actually, if you use a good password. If you don't use a good password, no amount of hiding your login name will help you.
But, geez, necromancy is far worse than knowing someone's account name! At least, around here.
