Since you have donated to the site, they have your real name and address (or whatever name & address your paypal/credit card account is linked to).

I did consider to request of removal of such data myself, but I'm quite certain that they are using a different system for this kind of information.

A user purchased it for me. :)

That's a pretty broad question to answer here honestly Roy, but of course we consider account security a top priority and these recent updates are to that end. If you have specific questions though, PM me and I can put you in contact with the correct folks for more specific answers. Edited by SirSalami

Seconding Authy. I already use that for several other accounts.
I kept getting that recaptcha thing over and over and over for the last several days and it was extremely annoying. I hope whatever was causing that has been tweaked now.

Jokes aside, ConnieandMike said it right. It just goes on and on most of the times (7-8 pictures sometime).

"It just goes on & on sometimes." Been there, had that.

This can happen if you do not enable cookies from third-party sites (such as Google) or destroy them too quickly. You definitely need to enable persistent cookies from "*.Nexus.com" to avoid most of the recaptcha annoyance on your personal device.

THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAMN TIME I TRY TO LOG IN!! The text is completely unreadable. It takes usually 6+ tries and dozens of reloading the text to get one I can kinda guess the letters of. It is anything but "easy for us humans" and nothing but an annoyance that DOES NOT HELP WITH SECURITY. Just read this: https://www.komando.com/happening-now/355395/captcha-codes-are-more-than-just-annoying-theyre-putting-your-security-at-risk. This is completely useless.


Well it only took 2 dozen time today. WTF!!!!! Its about time nexus had some competition. This used to be a good site but its been getting worse. They dont support NMM anymore and the re-captcha is a damn joke.

2FA is good news but something changed and now I can't log into the forums at all. I click on forums and then on the log in button and it says I am already logged in and the page it redirects to doesn't have a log out option. Could probably fix it by deleting cookies and session data but I should not have to do that and most people wouldn't know to try doing that.

Please log out from the site and login again, you have outdated cookies stored in your browser :)
