Hi,
I wanted to suggest replacing the CAPTCHA garbage. It was supposedly created to stop bots, but it has already been proven that not only does it not stop them, but Google uses it as spyware, not to mention that you can spend 15 minutes trying to get it right and nothing, it keeps telling you to try again. It is very annoying and it makes me angry that you cannot access just because the CAPTCHA fails. (https://www.techspot.com/news/106717-google-recaptcha-not-only-useless-also-basically-spyware.html)
As an alternative, I propose a 2FA verification, you scan the QR of your GOG account with an app like Aegis Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator... so that it generates the keys, you would enter the first time and at the same time you protect us from this spyware that Google is profiting from.
I love GOG for its values and policies that defend its users, and making this decision to change would reinforce trust with you.
I just hope that at least it is taken into account.
Thank you for the good work you do, keep it up.
Regards
