Optional service specific credentials

[Plok.5873]

Atm we use a single pair of account name + password for

1. [Account Management](https://account.arena.net/overview): higher security necessary to avoid account misappropriation;

2. The game: medium security needed to avoid ingame goods misappropriation;

3. This forum.

I'd like to conveniently store the forum credentials in my browser, like i do with every other board. In this case however, that would be negligent since it is shared with 1+2. So, allowing us to generate separate credential pair for 2+3 would benefit both security and convenience.

Since the ToS specifically prohibits sharing an account I can't see this happening.

This has nothing to do with sharing an account. The op is asking to have a separate login for the forums and the game as this is a high security risk if you have others sharing your PC, which Anet has no right to dictate to anyone. This has been brought up before and ignored.

Yeah, I prefer to have seperate passwords for account and forum. I guess it's convenient for players to be able to access the forum without needing to create an account on a seperate database though.

I would think tying a forums account to a game account is for security reasons and also somewhat of a deterrent for trolls hiding behind pseudonyms?
