Since VSCode v1.48 it is possible to use existing accounts to authenticate your extension. Microsoft & GitHub account providers are generally available for all users.
Since hackmd.io supports login via GitHub it would be fitting to avail the same in this extension.
However this request does not mean to completely remove/replace the existing Email/Password login.
PS: My reason for this request is that I want to use this extension but do not want to enter email/password while the VSCode's Authentication Provider API seems to be using the underlying OS's method of choice to store/retrieve credentials which in most cases is more secure by default.
