Ridiculous registration and log in protocols!

"I've got two accounts with 2 desktop shortcuts set up and when FDev update the launcher I've got to go into the launcher folder, make 2 renamed copies of launch.exe then run the desktop shortcut to log in with my email and password, open up my email account, get the verification code and paste it into the launcher before the game will run.

Twice.

If there's a good reason why we need to re-enter our account info and re-verify our accounts every time the launcher updates, fair enough.
If there ISN'T, however, can't FDev just figure out how to make updating the client a bit smoother?"

I just spent 25 minutes of Playing time doing this.....

No issues here: Well apart from the fact that my password had changed. Which happened because I had to change it for this place.

Such is life.

That's just weird. I logged in on my forum account, I linked this account to my ED account and it was done. No pwd change or anything.

I use ED Account Switcher and never have an issue (so far). Even when it says to log in after an update, I just close the launcher, open ED Account Switcher, hit launch and I am back in to my accounts.

When this new forum opened, I could not log in using my old forum password and it did not work. I had to re-new said password and in turn. This then became my game password as well.
