OAuth Login Flows should use system browser, not electron window

Open jgentil opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

When I click to login to GitHub, it takes me to an Electron browser window. I would much rather do an OAuth2 exchange than type my username and password into an app like this, since I have credentials saved in a password manager AND I use a security key to OTP.

Gitify should open the authentication in a browser, not in itself.

I'll use a security token for now.

Can we have an option to open in browser to meet a middle ground between these two styles?

I've started on this work in https://github.com/gitify-app/gitify/pull/654. Help is very welcomed.
