claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Provide non-email account authentication methods. [1 participants]

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When I want to re-authenticate, instead of providing my CTAP2 key, or entering my e-mail address and TOTP token, I am required to request a message via e-mail, which requires:

• a significantly better internet connection, and

• more time

…than all of the aforementioned

Proposed Solution

Implement CTAP2 authentication, because it requires merely one factor.

Alternative Solutions

For clients that do not support CTAP authentication, TOTP 2FA should provide an alternative (offline) mechanism for generating the codes that are currently sent via e-mail, thereby reducing the expense of sending millions of messages via e-mail. It can be configured via a QR code.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

Performance and speed

Use Case Example

I frequently switch browsers, because I frequently switch OSes and hardware. Even when I don't, I frequently switch locations. This means that I am frequently de-authenticated.
