Before GOG required two-factor authentication for login, I had enabled it and it worked flawlessly. Now that it's required, and still enabled on my account, I find that I am no longer receiving login code emails. Logging in just takes me straight to the page. I tried the option to log out of all devices, but it didn't seem to do anything. I can still log in without it asking for a login code.

Anyone experience something similar?

This means it is working as supposed too and that you DO store cookies.
IF you would login from another UNKNOWN device you shall see an email with this codes.
If you refer to the I am not a robot that would be a different story ;)

EDIT:
your identity will be verified through your email address whenever you log in from a new device, browser and/or location

Awesome! Thanks for the clarification. I was pretty sure I wasn't storing cookies, but I guess I must have somehow told it to do so.

Thanks again!

Since when do IP's have anything to do with cookies?

Not sure what you mean.

It doesn't care about IP. All that matters are the cookies. Your IP could change mid-session and you wouldn't need to re-authenticate.

Well, there are certainly issues that still need to be ironed out.

For example:

I sign in from a completely clean browser session & brand new IP address, no two-factor authentication.
I log out, log back in after 5 minutes, yes two-factor authentication.

Why worry?

To borrow from Gandhi; it's a very good idea. ;p

Very convenient -- for GOG.

Close enough :-P I just made a search for "ip man" and "cookie", and that was the first thing I found.

You do have a point. :-)

I just wanted to make sure it was working as intended. I got used to seeing the emails so when I suddenly stopped getting them, I thought something broke.

If it uses cookies, they must be super cookies or something. Clearing the cookies/cache in Firefox using the default manner and Better Privacy doesn't seem to have made a difference. Even using CCleaner didn't seem to make a difference.
