Lukaszmik: So this is why I can't log into GOG without letting Google data-mine me?

Gydion: Yeah, the forced reCAPTCHA on the initial login attempt is total BS. A "workaround" would be to export a valid galaxy-login-al cookie (after having logged in) which by the way doesn't appear to expire for about a year. Import that cookie before trying future logins and it skips the reCAPTCHA.

Also, wishlist item.

Gydion: It's easy. Logout, delete both login.gog.com cookies: galaxy-login-al & galaxy-login-s. Then attempt to login.

Breja: Wait... are we talking about GOG website here or Galaxy?

iofhua: I can't do that. I use CCleaner to clear my temp files on a daily basis for security reasons. Neither do I let my browsers save login information, for security reasons.

The best security is saving your password to your brain, and typing it in every time you log in. All login captcha does is make life a pain in the butt for people who are already security-minded.

It's not GOG"s job to hold people's hands anyway. They provide a password field to our accounts. It's up to us to engage in sensible security practices.

If you let your browser save your passwords and leave it open all the time with your accounts logged in, it's not GOG's fault if someone comes along and lifts your stuff.

Faithful: Agree. I too use CCleaner and I also clear history every time FireFox is closed. It is a pain to have to "click the billboards" to then be presented with the four digit secondary login also,

Goodaltgamer: You could do the following:

You log in via firefox, log in to GOG, leave firefox without clearing.

Goto the specific folder, rename the file with the cookis (if you need I could look it up)

And before starting a new session were you want to visit GOG, you would just copy the file over again and you wouldn't get the recpatcha.
Even possible with a batch file

Faithful: .

Faithful: Interesting, is there a direct link to how to accomplish this?

Kleetus: If you are talking about CCleaner deleting all your files, you can set it to retain the GoG cookie.

It's only when the cookie is deleted that the captcha appears.

iofhua: This is absurd. Really? Is this really necessary? If someone wants to automate logging into GOG with a bot, why not just let them? What harm does it do? Are you afraid of making it too easy for someone to buy something?

Whoever came up with this should be smacked across the head. Severely. Several times.

Goodaltgamer: It depends a bit on your version, but for starters:

http://mozilla.gunnars.net/firefox_help_firefox_cookie_tutorial.html
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-third-party-cookies
physically in there:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles (again depends on your version a bit)

And no, no direct link , but I'll to some more checking

How good are you with computers?

JesperU: I never log out lol
