On October 19, 2026, Square Enix announced via the Final Fantasy XIV official website that it has identified unauthorized login attempts targeting its user accounts. The company suspects these incidents stem from the use of email addresses, account IDs, and password combinations leaked from external online services.
The company warns that users who reuse credentials from other platforms are at a heightened risk of compromise. Furthermore, accounts utilizing easily guessable passwords—such as those containing repetitive characters or personal information like birth dates—are also vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Square Enix has implemented login restrictions on accounts suspected of being compromised. Affected users will receive an email with instructions to reset their passwords to regain access. Additionally, the company strongly recommends enabling one-time passwords, which provide a dynamic security layer that expires after a single use.
Users are urged to change their passwords immediately if they meet the high-risk criteria. Square Enix noted that it may mandate a global password reset for all accounts if unauthorized access attempts continue to rise in the future.
