I tried using Claude Code this week because I have a free account from my work.

However when I try to log in via CLI it takes me to a webpage with an “Authorize” button. Clicking the button does nothing. An error is logged to the console but nothing displays in the UI.

We reached out to support who have not helped.

Not a great first impression

Sadly their whole frontend seems to be built without QC and mostly blindly assuming a happy path.

For the claude.ai UI, I've never had a single deep research properly transition (and I've done probably 50 or so) to its finished state. I just know to refresh the page after ~10mins to make the report show up.

It's had enormous problems in Firefox. For me it would reliably hang the entire tab.

Claude likely built their front end.

Do you have API access (platform.claude.com) rather than Claude code (claude.ai)? I had similar issues trying to get Claude CLI working via the second method, not knowing there’s a difference

I think I have API access.

But it’s confusing.

The docs say run “Claude” and then pick your option.

I tried multiple options and neither worked
