Question Can't login to GFE or use ShadowPlay, Nvidia security challenge identity verification email not sent?

Anyone else having this problem, and what to do about it?

I got an update to Geforce Experience about a week ago, but I haven't had to log in again for several months.

I'm having the same problem. Everything I've found through Google indicates it's a server issue and just a matter of waiting. One post indicated this has been ongoing for years

Edit: Let's hope it's tied to their new account registration issues https://status.geforcenow.com/

Seems like it's an issue with a lot of people:
Nvidia's email verification is down, blocking logins to GeForce Now and GeForce Experience | PC Gamer

Yeah I'm seeing others talk about it on other forums, one linked to an article PCGamer did about it. I finally got a verification email sent today, but as it applied to a login I did yesterday, it didn't work. I reinstalled the new 528.02 driver though and got an email right away and the link verified fine. Hopefully this problem is finally resolved.

It seems GFE is still having problems. The reason I was trying to install the newest driver before in the first place was the ShadowPlay status indicator was not showing onscreen like it does sometimes, and when that is the case despite ShadowPlay being turned on, I get no capture file writing when I hit the Instant Replay key.

So I resorted to turning Privacy Control off to see if the status indicator would show on the desktop, and it did, and showed in game too. I captured the segment I wanted to and it checked out fine when I watched it, however when I exited game, the status indicator was no longer showing on the desktop.

Then I went into ShadowPlay and turned Privacy Control back on, then off again, and now it's showing. Nvidia needs to sort this out because this has been another ongoing problem for a LONG time.

Nothing was in spam, and I find Nvidia even on their own forums do not respond even when there are numerous people there mentioning the same problems they're having. Once in a blue moon something gets fixed in a driver version, but they rarely acknowledge on the forum or in driver notes widespread problems with their coding were happening.

The solution? I switched to OBS, screw Nvidia's arrogance, and I worry it will only get worse now that AMD have declared they don't intend to compete anymore in the high end desktop GPU market.
