This issue is totally destroying Ubisoft's store/launcher. For years users have complained about having to log in every time. It was a huge friction point. The UI even has an option to save credentials it just doesn't. Ubisoft is currently moving their entire catalog back to Steam.

Really? I might actually try some of their games. I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game for nearly a decade now, I think, solely because of their launcher.

I bought one of their games on Steam and, between when I bought it and when I started playing it, they shutdown a server that the menu queried, so I got to enjoy 2 minute timeouts every time I went into the menu. Lesson learned: Always make sure to try purchased games within the return window!

And never buy from Ubisoft.

Edit: Wow--just checked and they're still selling this game, even with this egregious hang.

Lol, again ?

Yep, and I basically lost my (legal) access to Heroes of Might and Magic 6 when they updated their store/launcher...
