    Depending on your phone, you can get a token generator for free from Square Enix. I know there is an iOS version, and I believe there is an android version. Yes I am aware not everyone has smart phones and of them, not everyone has iOS, but it bares mentioning that there is a free solution out there for a lot of people that it seems like no one knows about for some reason. Having to use the app can be a pain, but I consider it worth the irritance to be 100% sure I will never be hacked (randomly generated private key on a second device is virtually impossible to crack, even with a key logger).

    It's not. The whole point of the one-time password is that it is on a different device than the normal password, making it more difficult (to impossible) to get all of the login information for a user. A clever program could break into the emulated version, find the encryption seed(s), and reproduce the generator.

    Nope SE can't do anything. SE cannot teach ppl to take care of their details and NOT use it everywhere on the internet to make sure everyone can get it.

    It's not SE that fails to protect the data of the players, it's the players that fail to protect themselfes. There is nothing SE can do.

    You do realise that most hackings are people getting keylogged or screwed over by someone they thought they could trust right?.

    Most of the hacks are coming from people going to gilselling sights and getting some sort of malware that keylogs you.

    They aren't "hacking" accounts. The word hacking is commonly misused. They're phishing or cracking (brute force) account information.

    As long as you're careful where you input your password, avoid shady sites, never tell ANYONE your password or information that can lead to someone guessing it, don't use the same password on different sites and have a password not easily guessable; You're pretty safe. They aren't literally hacking into Square's servers and retrieving your password. They're acquiring it through other means of your own self negligence.
