Why can't I login with username/password
-
@FC-Eddie_NL highly disappointing that this has been put in place with no notice. First of all it is true that no other game is using this procedure, on top of that, it’s a problem for beginners and veterans alike. My personal opinion: restore the normal log in procedure.
-
That is a mistake, I know is more secure, but is possible to prevent that by just using 2MFA. Disabling all accounts from accessing directly with email and password is not fine, imagine you lost the email how you will recover the account? imagine you know the email and the password from your old account and your email was deleted? Google have a policy to disable emails that doesn't make logins after couple months or years.
This is a bad idea, guys! What they are doing seriously? How to fix this? Easy
-
Make possible to disable that under account settings you can choose the method to login and disable login with email and password, the player can choose which one is more convenient for him like 2MFA, Google Authenticator, Code by email or none (this means that login with email and password will be back)
-
Make possible to add 2FA in the settings of the game, if is not possible to do in mobile, make it available in desktop, then the user will need one day to change it and secure the account, easily and no headaches. For those who want to keep their account with mail and password, it still works. For those who doesn't want to login by email and password for security reasons, it will show a message "Disabled for Security reasons"
-
Make a Whitelist like devices where you always login to make it secure, new devices from the country you login can be blocked until the user passes the step of security reasons. Easy, fine and comfortable for everyone!
There are too many ways to prevent this kind of issues with the account. Why just disabling the normal method? why not leave it to user to decide? Before force? Unless OSM was hacked or had a security issue that is different, in such case a new password should be required to update...
I can't understand what is going on in this game and the direction this game is going on. Seriously, sometimes it gives the sensation that we are going back and the updates are being useless and mistakes are more common than before. Even if is for security reasons doesn't make sense to force all users to do so, is not the users that need to protect their account, OSM also needs to make sure that all data is well encrypted and not in plain text or stored badly. Take the security seriously but for both!
Keep going doing this and the game will lose more players than ever, most influencers that publishes videos of OSM are already complaining about game updates (no ranking updates, no improvement in classification, mundial ranking etc)
Small coins when you end the season, is very sad to see that. In the past we received more coins when we got in 1st position, now you receive small like 15 coins - 20 coins or less than that.... seriously guys what is the idea? where we will go with this ideas and no improvements where needs to have?

Lots of points made here that we as users are trying to point out all the time, yet nobody is listening, nothing is being done in order to try and fix those issues. Sometimes it looks like people running the game are not playing it in such detailed way. And you cannot have perfect vision of things if you do not experience it first hand. Thats why Im even more surprised why dont they take feedback from experienced managers more often. If I have been playing this game for more than 17 years of course I dont want anything bad for it, I want to help it to be better in order to attract more managers and give them better experience.
These constant updates that are being pushed (medals, coins specifically related) are all in favour of new managers and inexperienced managers. And the fact is that majority of those managers play 2-3 seasons and leave the game - I dont see how can people like that be more important than us who play for longer than 5 years.

You're horribly wrong this time! A change like this (especially without any notice) after years of daily playing makes you feel unwanted and will keep people away. You should restore the "old" login procedure.
-
So since GB can't solve the problems of cheaters and multi-accounts, it makes life difficult for all the other managers. It seems sensible to me......
@giovvy
No, the problem is rather than identifying cheaters themselves they are just using this procedure to try and kill off cheaters once and for all. Unfortunately, what it is actually doing, it is making more actual managers than cheaters leave this game

Its just becoming more about people spending money on coins….not really about experienced or competitive players…..i really don’t like saying this but its what i’m seeing… -
Please turn this decision back fast, because I don't know which e-mail adress I've signed up with many years ago. I've tryed them all, but no succes.
-
There is no way GB keeps making these kind of nonsense decisions while expecting the game to continue being alive...
-
Who the hell do you think you are? A bank?! A security code via email to log in, what a ridiculous idea. Why not just send a letter with two signatures to log in to a virtual football match? You can really overdo it with this self-importance. As if the previous login wasn't perfectly sufficient. I think it's crap!
-
Please refer to this post for further info and please check your account and set it up accordingly!

I've been playing the game for 12 years, but once I'm locked out I highly doubt I'll return.
I completely disagree with this and have no intention of obliging to what you're trying to force.
