They are supposed to verify that the person requesting deletion or another right under GDPR is the same as the person whose data it is, or that at least the requester is authorized to act for the person whose data it is.

The controller should use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject

Huge emphasis on reasonable. If by asking me to log in for the sake of verification results in me not being able to delete my data as I've demonstrated above, then this is 100% NOT REASONABLE.

They are actively hindering the process that GDPR requires me to take.

I don't care about the small letters, this is a GDPR violation. I should have an easy way to delete my data and this ain't it.
