[SOLUTION] Here's how to login with this plugin.

Hi, This is how you can sign in using cookies. I'm on Linux and this works perfectly, and I'm not so sure about windows.

Ping me if you face any issues.

P.S: Visual Studio Code version 1.91.1 Installed from https://aur.archlinux.org/visual-studio-code-bin.git

Open leetcode.com Open inspect tab and switch to networks tab. Refresh the page without closing the inspect tab. Then click on any domain that has 'www.leetcode.com' on it. LIKE:

Then scroll down to request headers and you will find cookie that starts like ''csfrtoken=xxx....."

Copy the value (by right clicking on top of the text) and that is your cookie. If this doesn't work, try with any other domain tab.

Cookie sign in worked for me, Thanks @BETTlM

@BETTlM Which extension version are you using? And the cookie do we need to add csfrtoken= or simply the value?

v1.18.1 is required to login via cookies. You can install the latest version after logging in as shown in the video.

Yes you have to include csfrtoken = xxxx

Somehow this worked now. I tried the possible ways to sign in before but this tutorial made it work.

You are just pasting the csfr token, not the cookie.

Refer the above messages on how to get the cookie.

Now we have another update. It seems that the login issue is resolved for good. It works that is good but it is still confusing. I see that the login and logout buttons are both present at the same time. There is no confirmation of login inside the console although there is a popup in the VSCode window which doesn't appear when the login happens by default in the VSCode because of starting of the application.
