Why should I change my Valorant password?

After a recent cyber attack on Riot Games, the importance of securing your personal information is more prevalent then ever. Despite their assurance that user data protection remains uncompromised, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Even though Valorant is a Free To Play title, your account may still hold significant value. Most players have spent some money on VPs that have later been used for Cosmetics or the Battle Pass. Whilst you might think that an account has no monetary value since you cannot sell it “legally,” Cosmetics, Level, and Rank can go for quite some price.
