Environment:
- OS: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
- Shell: PowerShell / Git Bash (MSYS2)
- Claude Code invoked via:
/login
Steps to reproduce:
- Run
/loginin Claude Code - Complete the browser-based auth flow and receive a verification code via email
- Copy the code from the email and paste it into the terminal prompt
- Submit the code
Expected behavior:
Login completes successfully.
Actual behavior:
Login fails with:
OAuth error: Invalid code. Please make sure the full code was copied
This happens even when the code is copied correctly and entered promptly. I've retried multiple times (/login interrupted and restarted each time) with the same result, including careful re-copying of the code to rule out stray whitespace/formatting issues.
Additional notes:
- Tried both retyping manually and pasting via plain text to rule out smart-quote/whitespace corruption.
- Multiple
/loginattempts in the same session were interrupted before this — unclear if a stale/previous auth session could be interfering.
