■ 2.　Re-secure the account

    Once you are able to log in to the account, secure the account once more by going to "Square Enix Account Settings" -> "Update Account Information" and doing the following:

    (1) Update the email address on file
    (2) Update the security question and answer
    (3) Update the physical address on file
    (4) Add a Software or Security Token to the account

    Adding a token to the account will require the use of a one-time password upon every log in but it is the best way to secure the account from third party access. The physical security token can be purchased for $14.99 (https://sqex.to/fDfyz) or you can download the free software version for your Android or iPhone device.
