Jan 1, 2026January 2026 — NordSecurity/nordvpn-linux: Focused on strengthening login telemetry by delivering Enhanced Login Event Tracking. Implemented a flag to indicate when the login flow was altered, improving the accuracy of login-related event data for interrupted or modified attempts. This change enhances analytics reliability, supports data-driven authentication decisions, and lays groundwork for faster troubleshooting in authentication flows. Commit reference LVPN-9851: Improve login altered flow events data accuracy (#1304).
