Feature Request: Allow Copy URL For Adding Account/Authorization #4961

Closed FlameSoulis closed 3 weeks ago

FlameSoulis commented 4 weeks ago

When adding an account, the app will open the system's default browser. This is fine as long as it is precisely the browser you want to use.

When used in portable configurations, this may not be desired. Because the URL is often redirected to a log-in page, this means that you have to quickly copy a URL before the redirect from the address bar, which is not feasible given how fast the current internet runs.

This could all be avoided if the URL was provided as a copiable source (even as simple as copying to the clipboard), where the URL could then be pasted to the correct location.
