Add a Little Square Enix Security

On Tuesday, April 7, Square Enix will launch a new Square Enix Account System, designed to offer an additional level of security to a variety of Square Enix services. Accompanying the system is the Square Enix Security Token, a device which generates temporary passwords linked to a user's account system.

Initially, the Square Enix Account System will be compatible with PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI. FINAL FANTASY XI players who purchase a security token will also receive a "Mog Satchel," an in-game bonus that increases your characters' inventory space.

Further details can be found at the PlayOnline website.
