On a living room set-top box, it's outright aggravating.

This is annoying enough when I'm sitting at my own PC with a mouse and keyboard. On any of the Nvidia service's tiers, from free to 3080, I'm forced to manually reenter and confirm a storefront's credentials nearly every time I boot a new game-and I have to do so while mousing around a PC-like screen, since I'm remotely connecting to an Nvidia PC.

At any time, Nvidia GeForce Now can stick you into an awkward PC interface, one that requires gamepad shortcuts to finagle if you're not using a mouse and keyboard, whether because Nvidia's servers didn't download a recent patch or because something on your specific gaming account didn't sync properly.
