Recently Claude Code said my authentication credentials had become invalid and I needed to log in again. I recorded the ridiculous number of steps this took:

- Copy-paste link to browser

- Wait several minutes while page load hangs

- Click refresh a couple of times, page finally loads

- Type in work email

- Redirect to work portal, type in work email again

- Asked for work password: open KeepassXC and type in Keepass database password

- KeepassXC additionally demands that I enter my laptop PIN

- Copy work password into work portal

- Asked for Authenticator code: go look for phone

- Find phone, load up authenticator app, type into work portal

- Wait several minutes while page load hangs

- Click refresh a couple of times, eventually get code to paste back into Claude session.
