Added Security Measures

CCP is implementing account security upgrades, greatly increasing the security of user accounts.

This will be done incrementally, with the first step having already been taken by prompting our users in some cases to provide a separate login to the offical EVE Online website.

The change in question is intended to prevent automatic logins by bots running enormous lists of username and password pairs. This has been the main cause of problems with account security for a while now, with hundreds of thousands of such pairs being tried every day.

This is the first step of many in account security upgrades. We apologize for any possible inconveniences that may arise due to this, but believe that users will appreciate the increased security of their accounts.

For more information on this security upgrade and on how to improve your account security, you can check this news report and its related dev blog.
