so, lately nord has been prompting to login again via browser to authenticate and it's annoying on a headless system. I finally dug into a way to bypass this BS and found a way to do it.

Code:
sudo nordvpn login --legacy

This bring the old login from the terminal window vs the stupid prompt to open a browser. This changed back on 3.12 IIRC as an added security feature to precent leaked credentials that were being posted all over the place.
