Elevated errors on Claude.ai (including login issues for Claude Code)
mkw5053: I had codex read my cc chat histories and am back up and running there.
zurfer: this takes long enough for me to give codex a new try
yomismoaqui: As a cheap user that only uses the 20$ month subscriptions I started with Claude Code as main & Codex as backup when the 5 hour quota was exhausted.Then I saw that Codex worked better for me and cancelled my Claude Code subscription. And now for my moderate use (4-5 hours a day with no parallel agents) I have enough with Codex $20 and AMP free if I want to save some weekly quota.But honestly I usually have enough usage to last the full week without using AMP.
prodigycorp: Can I take a moment to complain about Anthropic's insistence on using a magic email link for login in the year 2026? It's so unnecessary. Please, anthropic team. Just allow us to user username/password/2FA.
dweekly: Passkeys are the 2026 answer. No (added) username, no password, no two factor SMS, no phishing.
newbie578: Still down, looks like it will be down for the whole day. Looks like time to call it a day...
post-it: I support not storing any kind of password, but they should add passkey support.
dionian: i got back in half an hour ago or so. concerning that its still happening
skeledrew: The magic link is nice IMO. One less secret to manage.
n4r9: Email link is way more convenient than a 2FA text, surely? It means you don't need to remember credentials or have your phone with you.
marketneutral: On iOS and macOS 2FAs are auto-populated for you, and of course also your saved login and password. You don't need to leave the page and open other applications.This is by far the most common sign-in UX. So is there some security benefit in the email link sign-in?
skeledrew: The only way an account accessed by a magic link can be compromised is by an already compromised associated email. No password in clipboard, which is how some of us still do it, etc. The magic link makes everyone secure regardless of how they store their secrets.And there's also no password stash if the server were to be hacked, which means no sending out "please update your password" emails and the like.
