Hi folks,

as of today sdcc requires you to use your sdcc login to get into nx. Previously we had the option to save our password in the client. It turns out the password is more or less stored in clear text (scrambled but not encrypted) which is just a bad idea. So sdcc pulled the plug on this feature and from now on we will have to enter our username and (16+ character) password every time before being prompted for the otp token.

Chris
