Username
Password
Probably, most of the players, which count on you in the World of Warcraft are thinking of ways to protect your beloved World of Warcraft Accounts. It is not complicated to do so. It is not necessary for you to lock yourself into a vault or a safe room. Right now we will list three useful ways to safeguard your precious wow accounts.
The first one is account management or password. Prior to creating your wow account, you must take some important things into consideration. Such as: am I willing to provide my personal details? Can I access the e-mail going to be used? It's necessary for you to fill in all the required information accurately for account integrity. You need to have a valid working e-mail registered so that if a problem occurs with your wow Account it is much easier for you to be reached by Blizzard or vice versa.
In the same way, you need to create a username and password when making wow accounts. The more unique it is the better it is secure. Much better if you haven't used it before and solely created it for wow usage only. Use a strong password and always remember it. There is another security feature when you create a wow Account, the secret question. By the name itself you should be able to know it is a "secret" question and only you know the answer. You don't share or tell those to others ever! Make sure you secure your original CD-KEY (which is registered to your wow account) in a safe place. In case of ownership dispute or problem, you may need to provide those to Blizzard.
Another is to avoid the third party programs or software. Most of wow Account holders tend to look for game hacks or exploits. Maybe there are a few but let's face it, if I had created or found an exploit for the game, why share it? We do stumble every now and then into sites or forums claiming that they have a program capable of duping items and generating gold in WoW. Either they will ask for your account details or make you download a certain software (key-loggers) mining your wow account. There was once a bot program that surfaced the net in the past. It actually worked, you could use it to power level your WoW characters in a breeze. Many didn't know that their wow username and passwords was secretly sent to game hackers. It's a scam trust me. You wouldn't like to be a weeping loser at the end.
The last one is that you should make sure that you keep your computer running safe. The main thing you should do is anti-virus. It's for your own protection. It will protect your wow Account as well as anything you do with your computer. You don't want your computer to be exposed with all the viruses spreading through the Internet. There are lots of good virus protection soft-wares you can choose from the likes of McAfee, Norton, AVG, Kaspersky and so on. Choose the one that suits you and always make sure it is updated. And some do come for Free! So you don't have any excuse of getting yourself one.
Sometimes you should scan your system for malwares. There are programs that bypass the virus scanner and compromise privacy. Install malware scanner along with your chosen anti-virus. Popular ones are Lavalyst's AdAware or Spybot's Search and Destroy.
What is more, Firewall is another way of securing your wow account. Firewall keeps those "unwanted" data from entering our systems. We don't want our computers to be "vulnerable" against attacks and keeping it enabled is a must.
We do not know whether you are equipped with the knowledge and facts to start with. But there is one thing makes sure that you do not have to worry getting your account in WoW hacked anymore.
