NVIDIA Geforce Now 2-factor Authentication Issues

Players on other platforms such as MacOS, Linux, some TVs, and in general, platforms that cannot support the technical requirements for Apex Legends, can opt to play on Geforce Now's streaming platform for stable and affordable performance and gameplay.

So far, there are little to no issues most of the time. The one issue that persists, however, relates with login.

The procedure for 2-factor auth on normal PCs would be:

1) Log into your platform (Origin/Steam)

2) On Origin, do a 2FA with email/app/etc.

2.5) On Steam, do a 2FA Origin login when launching the game

Before, you could log in once into the Origin version provided by the GFN app and it would remember that you logged in from a cloud platform.

Steam, however, required a login when launching the game each time you open it from GFN.

After GFN switched Origin for the EA app, you are required to complete 2FA each time you launch the game similarly to Steam. This becomes tedious and boring, and potentially gamebreaking if for some reason the app crashes or your session time runs out, and you have to log in again.

I am requesting a fix, wherein if the app detects you are using a cloud platform like GFN, it will not demand you complete 2FA again.

Thanks
