No ... never had to although I could probably do so to a few trusted friends if they wanted to try the game.

My ex boyfriend has my password+email, and I have his and his little brothers, as they let me on their accounts before I actually bought the game, and his little bro let me use his account to see if Factions and Nightfall were actually worth buying.

I trust em, they trust me. Good enough.

Are you making a massive name dump so that you can send all the names to Anet and get them banned?

I gave my password to 15 people, I made 1 simple rule, if the password leaks out 2 of those people will be randomly shot. There are 5 people left alive and its amazing, but they have kept my password a secret now for over a year.

Yea, thats true

To stay on topic:

I have never given my account information to anyone. But i know a few ppl i can trust them with it.

I have account information from my older friends that never play anymore. I only use them to store some stuff and during events. Ow and to play the mAT's

Currently, my main is on nine rings, and i'm farming/grinding quests with one of the other accounts

Never. Not even my boyfriend of 6 years knows my password, and it's staying that way. I'm overprotective of the time I've put into gw, getting titles and so on.

You have complete trust and faith in your wife. Rare thing nowadays.

Yea, to like 4-5 people I trust. We usually exchanged our account info so that no one could try to mess around and steal stuff, but I trust my friends enough with my account info ^^.
I also haven't changed my pw since I'm too lazy and not paranoid enough to :P.

Also, usually gave out my pw so that people could do me favors and vise versa. But it's also fun to mess with peoples minds when bored
