Okay, so I have all of these old accounts i've been digging through to figure out which ones have worthwhile items on them and which ones don't.
The thing is, I haven't logged into them since before the secondary passwords were set, yet they all seem to have them. I can reset it through e-mail but this'll take forever; does anyone know what these passwords are automatically set to?

AFAIK, unless they recently changed the way secondary passwords are set, the secondary password screen should have a notice box that says you need to choose one if you haven't already... If it was already set, then someone (a little worried here) already set it after it was implemented. Might be safest to just reset it (and possibly change your account password as well).

They were all automatically set for me. I'm not worried because I know it definitely wasn't a hacker, lol. It's a mistake on Nexon's part.
I'm not too worried about it because I just reset the passwords. My thinking is that Nexon automatically assigned second passwords to neglected accounts so that if the owner came back, they would only be able to get in through an e-mail reset (thus confirming they are the true owner) while protecting their account in the meantime.
So for once, Nexon got it right!

It would be nice if they gave us notices when they do change things around xD. Kinda keeps people from freaking out.

I know. It especially sucks for the people who don't have access to their account e-mails...which is their fault, but also a nasty surprise.

Well it's their fault now that you can change the email.
Back in the day when you couldn't change the email associated with the account because of "security reasons"... Jesus, Nexon.
