I delete all my cookies too, except the ones with white chocolate chips. They can stay.

I agree its a pain, easiest solution for me is to not log in unless I want something. I can see the sales fine without the hassle

tinyE: 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?
Can I redeem my GOG keys on Steam? - Yes - just buy them as a gift and send the key to a random forum user for a mandatory compatibility check - especially send them them to people with low rep as they definitely want to increase their rep as quickly as possible and hence will do the compatibility check in no time!


Why don't you have Diablo here? - Because it's duck hunting season

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? - Warning! It's a dream! Wake up quickly or you might get stuck in it!

Trilarion: 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.
They could use the IP instead. Would be annyoing for the people with dynamic IPs though. But I wonder if there are more people who clear their cookies after each session or more people with dynamic IPs?

jepsen1977: Or you could stop watching porn and then turn on cookies again - problem solved.
*gasp* You monster! That's why incognito mode exists!

I would prefer the 2 factor verification only for security sensitives part of the website - password change, email change and use of GOG wallet. A login should just be a login, nothing more. Btw., is the 2 step verification only for the login or also for above mentioned areas? If not, that would be a security problem, because as seen in this thread, many people don't delete their cookies and stayed login because they are annoyed by the repeating verification.

Some browsers, as example firefox, can keep some cookies while the rest gets erased by every program quit. To do that go into the options and your privacy settings, add the gog url to the exceptions and activate to keep cookies until you close Firefox. Dont' forget to remove the cookies from the clear history option, otherwise all cookies will still be erased, including the protected one.

TarotRedHand: 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.

I agree with you and am having the same issues.

Now if I want to login to GOG, I have to login to my email only to be treated with the captcha 'confirm you are not a bot' mindless clicking of pictures, just so I can get back to logging into GOG.

FFS.

Its getting turned off and I need to get a new email client.

It's easier to add an exception for the cookie cleaning because then you have the best of both.

I have my browser configured not to store cookies either. But I add exceptions for the sites I want to stay logged in on, and a single exception for https://gog.com has meant that I've had to go through 2-step authentication twice in the same browser profile. I recommend that you do the same.

I agree, this would make a lot more sense.
