Keep Your Account Safe in 2025 on Artix Entertainment

Don't Make it Easy for Scammers

It's a new year, but the battle to stay safe and secure online remains the same. Scammers are always looking to gain access to accounts they don't own, and it's much faster if they can get YOU to share your login details. You worked hard to level up and unlock achievements on your character. Don't make it easy for them to be successful thieves.

The best way to do that? Keep your account information private.

Don't give anyone else your login information. Ever.
Don't let anyone else log into your account.*
Use a strong password (and don't tell anyone else what it is).
Confirm your email address... just in case you forget your super-strong password.

* Plus, you can't get banned for what someone else does if you're the only one who uses your account.

Do's and Don'ts For a Secure Password

A secure password is the safest way to guarentee that nobody will ever log into your account except you.

The FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT rules is to never tell anyone your password. AE staff will never ask for it. We dont need it. It says that as soon as you log in, every time you log in but we can't stress this enough.
Your password should never be your Character name. For example if yout character's name is BigFace123, your password should not also be BigFace123.
Your password should never be "password" or "secret".
Your password should never be "123456789", "987654321", "11111" or any string of numbers, even if the string of numbers is all mixed up and out of order, but ESPECIALLY not a string of numbers in order.
Your password should never be "aaaaa", "asdfghjkl", "qwerty", "abcdefg" or any really obvious string of letters.
Your password should never be your real name. Eventually you'll fight with a real-life friend and they will sell all your gear as revenge.
Your password should ALWAYS be as long as possible. I believe that AQW has a 25 character limit and I use all 25. That would literally take centuries to brute force hack, if we didn't stop a brute force attempt after several failed attempts.
Your password should ALWAYS have letters AND numbers in it and use punctuation if possible (which AQW passwords do allow), but avoid really obvious passwords like "AQW111"

A very long, very safe password is the best way to avoid ever getting hacked, and everyone should make a habit of changing them regularly.

Phrases like "go for burn on my mark" are still fairly predictable, so using random words that nobody would link to you is best. For example, none of Cysero's passwords have ever had the words Sock or Yogurt in them.

If you've got the time and you value your AQWorlds account... why wait? Head to the Account Manager page and update it now, Click the CHANGE PASSWORD link on the side menu and change your password to a stronger one.

Only Trust official Artix Entertainment Sites & Emails

Remember, only admins and members of Player Support can give (or remove) items and AdventureCoins, and they don't need to ask you for your game or email account password. They don't need it to help you.

The ONLY sites you should enter your AdventureQuest Worlds account information on are:

AQ.com (or a page linked on it, like the Design Notes or Upgrade page)
Artix.com
Portal.battleon.com

We will never ask you to go to a non-Artix Entertainment site to enter in your login details. And we will never promise to give you free items or AdventureCoins via email, in-game, or on social media.
