Cannot paste OAuth code into auth prompt (bracketed paste not handled)

Same here, I cannot paste the OAuth code. Yesterday it was working fine.

Same here

same here, happy am not the only one

Same issue
Claude Code v2.1.107
OSX: 14.7

same 2.1.105
running on bash with rocky 9.7 linux through ssh tunnel from windows terminal.

Trick is to connect on a device that have the access to a browser and then copy credentials.json into the one that can't connect

You can even ask Claude to do it for you if you have access through ssh

Same issue. Also inserting code by hand it fails (but I could have make some error.)
Window 11. Different ssh client (Putty, ssh on mingw, OS provided ssh)

Another workaround from https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/47811#issuecomment-4242525867 to downgrade from version 2.1.107 to 2.1.104.

I've tried this command:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s 2.1.104

And it works!

Yeahhh meanwhile I'm waiting for the fix on the latest version.

Open powershell then:
pip install pynput

Create a python script called auto_typer.py and save it in C:\

import tkinter as tk
import threading
import time
from pynput.keyboard import Controller

keyboard = Controller()


def start_typing():
    text = text_box.get("1.0", "end-1c")
    if not text:
        status_var.set("Nothing to type.")
        return

    go_btn.config(state="disabled")

    def run():
        for i in range(3, 0, -1):
            root.after(0, lambda i=i: status_var.set(f"Typing in {i}..."))
            time.sleep(1)
        root.after(0, lambda: status_var.set("Typing..."))
        keyboard.type(text)
        root.after(0, lambda: status_var.set("Done!"))
        root.after(0, lambda: go_btn.config(state="normal"))

    threading.Thread(target=run, daemon=True).start()


root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Auto Typer")
root.resizable(False, False)

frame = tk.Frame(root, padx=12, pady=12)
frame.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

tk.Label(frame, text="Paste your string below:").pack(anchor="w")

text_box = tk.Text(frame, width=60, height=5, wrap="word", font=("Consolas", 10))
text_box.pack(pady=(4, 8))

go_btn = tk.Button(frame, text="Go", width=12, command=start_typing, bg="#4CAF50", fg="white", font=("Arial", 11, "bold"))
go_btn.pack()

status_var = tk.StringVar(value="Paste a string and click Go.")
tk.Label(frame, textvariable=status_var, fg="gray").pack(pady=(8, 0))

root.mainloop()

If you want a .bat file on your desktop to run it:
@echo off
python C:\auto_typer.py

ssh via powershell into the box without the browser window and get the request link, run auto typer to type the reply code back in, voila.

same here, makes it completely unusable in my setup. I did not find any workaround, and can not use claude code on remote GPUs right now.

Revert to 2.1.107 (Claude Code) until fixed.

If paste does not work in Claude Code login under WSL, this is quick tmux workaround. It should also work over SSH, as long as both terminals are connected to the same host and user :)

# Install tmux
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y tmux

Terminal 1

tmux new -s claude-login
claude
/login

• Copy the login URL from Claude
• Open it in your browser
• Generate the login token/code

Terminal 2

read -s MYTOKEN && tmux set-buffer -t claude-login "$MYTOKEN" && tmux paste-buffer -t claude-login && tmux send-keys -t claude-login Enter && tmux set-buffer -t claude-login '' && unset MYTOKEN

• Paste the command above and press Enter
• Paste the token/code now
• The input is invisible
• Press Enter again

This sends the token/code into the active Claude session through tmux, so you do not need to type it manually.

Update: The last two login attempts on the same machine completed automatically — the OAuth flow redirected back to the CLI without requiring manual code paste. This is a behavior change from earlier sessions where the code always had to be pasted manually.

I don't know whether this means:

1. The underlying paste issue was fixed in a recent Claude Code update, or
2. The auth flow itself changed to use automatic redirect instead of manual code entry, sidestepping the paste issue entirely

Leaving this open in case someone else encounters the manual-code-paste flow and hits the same problem. The bracketed paste hypothesis (ESC[200~/ESC[201~ sequences being silently dropped) was never confirmed or denied — the symptom just stopped occurring because the flow changed.

The workarounds in the original report (copy .credentials.json, or pipe via stdin) remain valid if anyone needs them.

any work around for this if we are working strictly in a vscode dev container (i.e dont have claude code installed outside that container on the windows host).

Cannot paste OAuth code into the "Paste code here if prompted >" prompt. Ctrl+Shift+V does nothing — the prompt silently swallows the paste. Typing individual characters works fine. This was working earlier today.

Duplicate of https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/47699

Same here, windows 11 docker sandbox

100% a problem with versions 2.1.105 and up, 2.1.104 works fine.

Duplicate of #47669 — same bug: paste into the /login "Paste code here" prompt is silently rejected (likely bracketed-paste handling). Closing in favor of that issue; please subscribe there for updates.
