claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Interactive mode: Cannot paste auth code in /login prompt [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be worked around by using the claude auth login command before starting interactive mode.

Guidance

• The lack of clipboard paste support in the /login prompt is likely due to a limitation in the current implementation of the interactive mode.
• To verify the issue, try pasting an authentication code into the /login prompt using Cmd+V or Ctrl+V and observe that it does not work as expected.
• As a workaround, use the claude auth login command separately before starting interactive mode to authenticate without having to type the auth code character by character.
• Consider upgrading to a future version if this issue is addressed, but for now, the provided workaround is the best solution.

Notes

The provided workaround is specific to version 2.1.107, and it is unclear if this issue affects other versions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Using the claude auth login command before starting interactive mode is a reliable way to authenticate without the need for manual character entry, given the current version's limitations.
