At first sight 2 step verification may seem like a good idea. Unfortunately it has been implemented through the use of cookies. This is a problem for me as I have configured my browser to delete all cookies when I exit the browser. The reason I did this was for security as I don't want to be tracked all the time especially over several browser sessions. So because my cookies are deleted every time I close my browser I was having to enter the damn security code that was being repeatedly emailed to me. As I didn't ask for 2 step verification in the first place, I disabled the very annoying, every time I logged in, 2 step verification.

You know, you don't need cookies for some impressive fingerprinting/tracking?

Don't leave us hanging!

What kind of bread? Mustard? Mayo? I myself always add a slice of tomato to my ham sandwiches.

COME ON! DETAILS!

I have the same problem, but I've actually given in to it and now I verify my e-mail address every time I log in. XD

Anyway, TarotRedHand, long time no "see", nice to hear from you again, regardless of the topic. How have you been? :)

Can I redeem my GOG keys on Steam?

Why don't you have Diablo here?

I just entered the castle and I can't get by that guard who approaches you from the throne room. Should I use my sword?

I delete all cookies, except those I need :P
Gog can safely stay.

There are tons of browser add-ons for managing your cookies. With one of those you can whitelist sites (e.g. GOG), so they can store cookies permanently. Every other site is either not allowed to store cookies at all or the cookies are deleted when you close the browser.

Or you could stop watching porn and then turn on cookies again - problem solved.

How else would you implement two-step authentification? After all the idea is to authentificate once for every session? So either you allow cookies at least for GOG.com or you cannot have it.

Can your browser maybe only delete cookies from some (not all) domains? That would be the optimal solution here.

Sooo... You disabled cookies in order for websites to not be able to track your activity over several sessions and now you're not satisfied because GOG is not tracking your activity over several sessions? Well... Okay.
