@wwalker cool project! You might be interested to know I was just trying it out but couldn’t sign in. I use a GitHub login and my security key wasn’t able to do two-factor auth on GitHub using the desktop app, and similarly clicking either of the links to use authentication codes or recovery codes opened a browser so that didn’t work either.

Hey @chrisys! Thanks - I appreciate it!

I’ll look into this issue - I know there are a few links which initiate a URL call to the default OS browser, which can cause issues like the one you’re experiencing. Thanks for the feedback and I’ll try a few fixes.

Here you go! Tested with Google SSO - should work for GitHub as well. Let me know your thoughts!
