I will stop playing this game if I have to make an Epic account. Their security is a joke. Some Russian made a fake account using my email address without Epic ever actually verifying that the email address they used belonged to the individual that made the account.

Same. Currently locked out of my own account due to hackers and support has been a bit painful to deal with.

>I will stop playing this game if I have to make an Epic account Haha Meanwhile I can’t even update my NVIDIA driver without loging into whatever their GeForce platform thing is now called. Can’t remember your password? Stuck on old driver

  You absolutely can. The GeForce Experience is not necessary for anything. You can download drivers and install them without having to login to anything. GeForce Experience is just for the convenience of automation and for the extra tools it brings with it...

    Forcing login for a simple driver update is borderline malicious and you know it. Yes there are work arounds, but that doesn't excuse this kind of behavior in what I'd imagine is their main update delivery mechanism.

  you can visit https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and download the driver any time you want, just like it always was. GeForce Experience is mostly for the convenience of receiving automatic notifications and download when a new driver version is released.

    Why does one need an account to have an automatically updated driver ? Isn't there a Windows Update mechanism to do that ?

      There is but if you want the latest driver now, then you need to get it from Nvidia. For some reason it's months before it's sent to Windows Update.

Not verifying emails is unfortunately extremely common. That said, if someone made an account using your email, can't you trivially "recover" that account and change the password?
