I apologize for the late update, (new cat in my house is keeping me busy!) but here I am, bringing you a major quality-of-life update to how you connect your Nexus Mods account! This release introduces the modern Single Sign-On (SSO) workflow, making connecting your account faster, safer, and completely seamless.

What's New

  • One-Click Nexus SSO Login: Say goodbye to hunting through your Nexus Mods profile to generate and copy an API key! You can now log in securely with a single button click via the browser.
  • Migration Incentives: If you're still using an old, manually-pasted API key, RPGModder will now politely suggest upgrading your connection to the new secure SSO standard with a handy "Upgrade Now" banner on the Nexus Mods tab.
  • Streamlined UI:
    • The Nexus Mods tab now features a cleaner "Login with Nexus Mods" button.
    • The Settings page has been polished. When connected via SSO, your API key is hidden and marked as "Connected via One-Click SSO".
    • Added a dedicated "Disconnect" button in the Settings to quickly log out and wipe credentials from your local configuration.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Security: API keys fetched via SSO (and manual keys) are now fully encrypted via Windows DPAPI before being saved to your local settings.json file.
  • V2 API: The V1 API of Nexus Mods now it's only in charge of downloading, with the new, better V2 API searching for mods inside the mod manager and having more stability overall.
  • UI Polish:
    • Re-added missing context menu options in the Mod List (Link to Nexus, Check for Updates, Download Update).
    • Fixed a bug where tooltips displaying special characters (like the & in Fear & Hunger) caused a crash on boot.
    • Resolved a crash (Cannot access a disposed object: HttpClient) that occurred if a user tried to reconnect immediately after disconnecting their Nexus account.
    • Fixed an issue where the manual "Save API Key" input field was permanently obscured by password dots after disconnecting.

Notes for Upgraders

Your existing API key will continue to work! However, I highly recommend clicking the "Upgrade Now" banner the next time you visit the Nexus Mods tab to transition to the secure SSO system.

Special Thanks

I want to thank Pickysaurus from the official Nexus Mods staff guiding me in migrating to the V2 API and being very kind regarding the process to make RPGModder a featured mod manager in Nexus Mods. Without him, RPGModder wouldn't have all these new features.
