You don't really know the value of account security until it fails you. Or, more accurately, you don't think at all about entering your password until that day when you type it in... and it doesn't work. You double-check it, and it still doesn't work. You don't know if you somehow forgot it, or if you've gotten hacked, or what the issue is... but suddenly playing the game becomes impossible. And suddenly, something as trivial as going in and doing your obnoxious dailies seems like it's an urgent matter.
In the best-case scenario, you just forgot the correct password and it can be fixed fairly easily. In the worst-case scenario, you look and find that the recovery e-mail is an address you haven't used in years that no longer functions, and all of your contact information is completely wrong. Because who needs all of that, right? Except that you do now, and you're left kicking yourself for not thinking it through at the time.
Have you ever found yourself on the wrong end of getting locked out of an account? What happened? Were you angry, upset, or just ambivalent? Tell us your story, because for better or worse, we've all had to wrestle with security at some point.
