This will also affect any other software that uses the old login destination and method, for example, Mod Organizer. This will prevent you from being able to login, check for new file versions or download mods from the site directly in to NMM. This will mean anyone who does not update their NMM will no longer be able to use NMM online. We plan to do this on Tuesday the 8th of May.

In order to be compliant, we need to turn off our old, less secure login to the web services completely. To prevent any drama with this process, we've even patched up version 0.52.3 of NMM (the last version before the profile functionality was added) so there are no complaints. The alternative was to simply turn off the old services completely, essentially making NMM, and any other software using our old login services, offline only. We also did not want people to think we were using the GDPR as an excuse to force people on to our new mod manager, Vortex, either. NMM has been 'end-of-line' since 2016, which means we no longer provide any official support for the software, but we thought it was prudent to spend the time and money to release this update so our users could continue to use the software's online services while ensuring we're compliant with the new regulations.

Today we are releasing some security updates for the Nexus Mod Manager to bring us in line with the new EU GDPR rules coming into force next month.
