All these articles and more appeared on the Launcher and loadstone, some of them even in big bold red letters saying IMPORTANT.

I don't know if this is your first mmo, but most out there have Authenticators, both phone apps and physical, and its common knowledge to get one or the other setted up when you create your account, otherwise it will be prone to hackers.

Not having a authenticator is like not putting a lock on your front door of your house.

Sure you can get in by using the password/turning the door knob but so can everyone else if they know where to look.
