Explain to me the GeForce Experience

I have heard a lot of negative things about the GeForce Experience recently.
1.) Email Registration
2.) Having to login to perform simple tasks such as recording video.

MY QUESTION: Do you have to login to the GeForce Experience every time you want to use the features within it? Or does it allow you to save your password and it auto logs in when you boot your PC?

Is the service pretty stable? That would really stink if there was an outage and you could not access the basic functionality of your card.

You can click the check box under the log in box to save your log in info, or do whatever it does to prefer auto log in, unless you DDU or uninstall GFE.

Is the service pretty stable? Network-wise, it was, for me anyway. PC...

The share overlay also won't play nice if you have any other overlay running (Mumble, RivaTuner/Afterburner, Playclaw, to name a few).

You don't have to do an email registration. I just logged in through Gmail and left it at that. And I think you should be able to record and Shadowplay without logging in. I believe the logging in stuff is for the streaming feature. Don't quote me on that though. I uninstalled the entire GFE suite within hours of installing it.

I use it rarely as I don't find it too much trouble but things like login being added did P a lot of people off. Personally I rarely use the settings they recommend for game play as for me as an SLI user @4K they are rarely correct but usually close enough for a starting point if you have zero luck tuning a game. Which is rare for me but useful when I do need some help. To use things like Shadow play no you don't but streaming and what not, yeah you need to login in. It is complete and utter BS, there is auto-login in though if you click the save your info box. I usually enjoy Nvidia because I have less issues with their GPU hardware compared to when I have gone AMD but the Gforce experience has left a very bad taste in my mouth and many others. I tolerate only when I need to (ie I barely use it).
