Yesterday I switched back and forth between 3 different credit cards downloading a copy of the same book after each change (via the Tampermonkey script). I looked inside the epub/zip files at the encryption (rights.xml), and it was exactly the same each time. Today I downloaded it again and the encryption HAD changed. However switching my default credit card once again had no effect. From here I can only guess what might unlock these books now. I just know it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the default credit card number anymore. I did try some variations of my B&N account sign in, but no luck. |

It could be as DD said; B&N may be using a multiple & random process. Or it's a B&N-wide glitch. |

I guess I am just lucky? All my recent B&N ebook purchases have unlocked with the data shown in "My Account">Order Number>Billing Information.

I think it is like DD said that it is using something that the Nook apps and devices would already know. But since we don't know what it is, we can't put it into 3rd party readers or Alf's plug-in. Looks like a deliberate effort to toughen their DRM and pull the support for sideloading of B&N books. In other words, they've learned nothing. They are giving up an advantage they had over their competition. And they are hastening the day of their demise. |

I just think your account hasn't been switched over to the new system yet. I had no problems until a couple days ago when adding a completely new credit card seemed to break the connection been my cc and the encryption. Switching back to the card that previously worked (which was still in there just not the default) didn't help. And the encryption remains keyed to whatever account info they are now using.

The files for older purchases/downloads still unlock using the data that was in effect at the time they were downloaded. Once the file is downloaded, no change at B&N's servers or your account, can effect how that file unlocks. The "hash" that is created when you enter the proper data is what the book file needs to unlock the book, it won't unlock with any other than the one it is expecting. The "Seed" that the reader and the tools need to generate the "Hash", (that is used to unlock the file, if it matches what is in the file) can not be changed for those readers or tools, without loss of the ability to unlock the files. The problem isn't that as they would have to change the code of the readers and the tools, to make it so. Luck; Ken |

Readmill used a VendorID to unlock uploaded Adobe encrypted epubs without having access to a user's Adobe ID. Yes B&N's passhash method is a different variation than the "usual" Adobe Adept encryption, but it's still provided by Adobe. But all that would still suggest that reading on approved devices probably wouldn't be affected--only that current DRM-removal procedures might fail upon downloading new files/purchases.

That's just it. Approved devices and apps are now only those provided by B&N. They've said they are no longer going to support sideloading. This is how they enforce it. They change what you need to enter and don't tell us what it is anymore. No more sharing books with your family or using other readers.

In my case, B&N created a different Hash Code for my recent purchases by dropping my middle initial from the CC data they used. Which meant that when I tried to use the name that has always worked (with the middle initial) a non-matching Hash Code was created, and the ebook failed to unlock. Once I found the CC data that B&N used for those orders, I could again enter the required CC data to generate a matching Hash Code, and unlock the purchases. In my case, this was totally B&N's doing, but if you entered a new CC you might have entered something in the name field that caused a problem (the CC Number could not be at fault or the purchase would not have gone through) The CC Number field would be checked, when you entered it so that only allowed numeric characters were entered. The Name field would have to allow for a more broad range of characters. B&N should not be able to change existing files, so that they work with a new/different Hash Code. You would have to re-download the ebook to get a new file, for that file to unlock with the new Hash Code. I have never seen any attempt to change my old files after connecting to B&N, to buy another book or when opening Nook for PC to have a purchase downloaded.
