I just got 2 separate emails from EA.com giving me my password. I never requested this info! Is someone trying to use my account? I went and changed my password but it's bugging me that I got these emails. Does someone have a phone number I can call to get to the bottom of this? I don't like that someone is trying to get my password! >>:D
Usually EA onlysends those emails when your password has been changed.
I suggest you change to something no one would guess.
You can test your password strength at http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/password/checker.mspx
a couple that I tried were "medium", even playing around still medium
Every single password that I have tried (and I have tried stuff like Ex- sdfsd0f0sdf5ggrlKAHf38) and It still only says Medium... Weird
Same here and I must say mine are pretty complex with numbers and letters.

Princess, you said you changed your password. EA does send you an email when you change your password. But I understand you being uncomfortable about it. If you go into your account section they have a phone number there you can call for billing, you could try that.

Type in any two numbers, a string of 10 letters (upper and lower case) and finish with any two numbers. I get best every time.

This is not a complex password at all and could be hacked relatively quickly.
A complex password should be at least 8 characters, have a numeral, an upper and a lower case character, and a special character.
An example would be.
