Guild Wars 2 Account Security.

Is there something I am missing?    There's no authenticator(excusable due tolaunch),  there's no account security questions, it just seems rather basic?   Is this just me or does anyone else feel like we should have at least security questions?

They have email authentification. Without getting into the details its a good thing and put account security right where it belongs, with the USER.

 

"Guild Wars Account E-mail Authentication is a new feature that we’ll be introducing to Account Management that will provide you with extra security by requiring you to verify every login request from a new location with your e-mail account.

Whenever you attempt to login from a new location, we will send an authentication request e-mail that contains both a description of where you are logging in from, and a link you click to authenticate the login request. We decided to implement this as a mechanism that anyone can benefit from, since it’s free and easy for anyone to sign up for a secure e-mail account. Keep in mind, when you click on your authentication request e-mail, we will never ask you to enter any login information. Verification requests are only sent after you attempt to login, not before.

See the Account E-mail Authentication article in the Guild Wars 2 Knowledge Base for detailed instructions on how to take advantage of this feature."
