alt Hacker News> If you signed up with your Apple on the iOS Claude app, to access your account on the computer, you have to open the passwords app and copy your random email address and paste it into the Claude website login.
Isn't this basically Apple's fault? When you signed up, Apple provided a fake email address in leu of your real one. This is great for privacy but means the service has the wrong email.
I'm sure they didn't want to provide an Apple sign in option at all, but it's required by App Store rules.

Not really. It's the user's fault. Apple provides an option to hide your email, it's not required. It's an option that shows up when you're prompted to create an account.

But they wanted to provide a Google Sign In? wth?

So harm the users to benefit the service? wtf?
I don't want to give my real email or anything to random services, specially not one like Claude where they don't even let you remove your payment info.
They could also just implement sign in with apple on their website, they have the ability to sign in with google so not supporting Apple is still a weird choice they are making.
Apple should not have had to require developers to have options other than Google for authentication, but clearly some companies have to be dragged kicking and screaming.
So clearly they support it, and there is no reason it should not work on the web also.
