Bioware has asked to change your password at swtor.com the article can be viewed here
Even though it feels like we just changed our passwords I think its a good thing.

Just to note as it says in the article:
You do not need to take any action prior to receiving an email.

Yes, please do. Whenever you reset your password, you'll be prompted to use the new security measures, so it can be changed from any time onwards. |

Their security changes are that they are making the password case sensitive. You must have 1 upper and 1 lower case letter, and at least one number. If your password already complies to this you might be fine.

Thanks for pointing that out Aestel I didn't see it in the dev tracker, think I'll wait till I receive the email.

I took it to mean that it was linked to a forced reset so if you change the password now you'll still get an e-mail forcing a further password change. But if you don't receive one at all you can just reset it anyway and it will use the new measures.
