Possible security issue with sharing saved avatar files

The saved avatar files store the creators account name in plain text inside the file where it can not be changed without invalidating the file (as I love steganography, i couldn't help but peek). Can we have this changed so it stores the display name instead?

    Generally, the two are the same, ANYway.

    Just make sure you have a good, secure, strong password and you should be fine.

    my password is a random string of letters and numbers, one of 12 i know by heart, My concern is not for my accounts safety, but for the safety of the idiots that use the 10 most common passwords, or their birthmonth, or some other easily guessed sequence.

    The version of the game that is currently live should no longer has this problem. It should be using your public name in both the filename and embedded inside.

    You need to contact customer service to change your public or private account name.
