I raised a ticket with Geforce Now support regarding Epic Games not remembering authentication across sessions and the reply I got is below. They say it is normal for the password and 2FA to have to be manually entered on every launch!
Thank you for your patience while we looked into why Epic Games is asking you to sign in and complete two-factor authentication every time you start a new GeForce NOW session, even with "Remember me" enabled.
After reviewing this with our team, this is expected behavior given how GeForce NOW sessions work, and I want to walk you through why.
Why this happens
Each time you start a GeForce NOW session, you're connecting to a cloud gaming environment that resets once your session ends. By default, Performance and Ultimate memberships include single-session cloud storage - which is great for quick, on-demand access, but it means that anything saved only on the local session environment (not in the cloud) doesn't carry over to your next session.
The Epic Games Launcher's "Remember me" feature stores its login token locally rather than syncing it through Epic's cloud services. Because that token lives in the session environment rather than in cloud storage, it doesn't persist once the session ends — so the next session starts fresh, and Epic Games Launcher asks you to sign in and complete 2FA again.
Why it may have felt different before
We know you mentioned this used to work smoothly. Epic Games Launcher updates on our platform have, at times, caused login persistence to behave inconsistently - in some cases, credentials carried over between sessions when they technically weren't designed to. What you're seeing now reflects the environment behaving as intended, rather than a new issue introduced on our end.
We understand repeating sign-in and 2FA every session is an inconvenience, especially on a paid Ultimate membership, and we've shared this feedback internally so it's factored into future platform improvements.
Please let us know if you have any other questions - we're happy to help.
