BKGaming: Well you see... I just reinstalled Windows 10 after a format. Fresh installation. It happen the very first time I logged in, which is why I cleared everything (using Edge) and tried again. No security code was asked of me. So something doesn't seem right.

EDIT: I should say, using CCleaner it would always ask me for a code before, so unless they recently changed something it seemed to only take cookies into account.

GeorgIsMe: I think CCleaner does an "inteligent" scan for cookies to keep. So it might not be deleting everything
While you are correct, I'm not sure what that has to do with what I stated. :P

Maybe they now ask for the extra verification only if someone is trying to log in from Russia? :)

As zeogold already mentioned, Destro covered this in another thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_will_enable_twostep_login_on_all_existing_accounts_on_oct_24_2016/post165/?staff=yes

They're using multiple factors to check if 2 step is needed, so it's working as intended.

Though ironically, the people who delete cookies because they don't want to be tracked are presumably wasting their time as they are being tracked without them anyway... therefore they might as well just keep the cookies anyway XD

BKGaming: So is 2-Step working for anyone right now? I've cleared cache/cookies, etc, and logged in multiple times without GOG asking for a security code even though it has been enabled on my account since it was released.

Either it's broken or they have changed something.
It is. I have 2 step on, I received no code. I hope they fix this soon.

Well then it must have changed just this week then, assuming those "factors" include IP because as I said, I don't really see any other way they could check on a fresh clean install of Windows 10.... cause I'm like 100% positive it asked me every single time I cleared my browser which was about a week or two ago.

Not to mention, I know for a fact a file is created in Galaxy with this information (or it was) and on a fresh install it still didn't ask for a code.

EDIT: Thanks for a direct link though, have updated the OP.

Well those, that don't get it to work might not be able to tell us about in the forum, because they are locked out.
