"[BUG] OAuth code input prompt silently drops paste - code not accepted in Replit shell"

What's Wrong?

OAuth code input prompt is not accepting paste in Replit shell — paste works fine in the shell itself but nothing appears when pasting into Claude Code's auth prompt. Worked fine previously, broke today.

What Should Happen?

Pasting the OAuth code into the input prompt should work the same way it does in the shell itself — the code should appear (even if partially masked) and be accepted when Enter is pressed. Previously this worked correctly every day for over a year. As of today it has stopped working entirely — nothing appears when pasting, and the code is rejected.

Error Messages/Logs

OAuth error: Invalid code. Please make sure the full code was 
 copied

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Replit shell
2. Type claude to start Claude Code
3. Follow the login flow and select the OAuth/browser option
4. Copy the URL shown in the terminal, paste into local browser
5. Authenticate in browser and copy the resulting OAuth code
6. Return to Replit shell where Claude Code is waiting for the code
7. Attempt to paste the code into the input prompt
8. Nothing appears — paste is silently swallowed by Claude Code's input prompt
9. Pressing Enter returns "OAuth error: Invalid code"
Note: pasting works fine in the Replit shell itself (confirmed with echo test). The issue is specific to Claude Code's auth input prompt.

Same problem, thanks

I have the same issue on Windows 11 when I SSH via either cmd or WSL. The URL copies to the clipboard fine when 'c' is pressed but paste doesn't work Ctrl+V Ctrl+shift+V or "right click menu>paste" (keyboard button, right mouse menu seems to be disabled).

Trick is to connect on a device that have the access to a browser and then copy credentials.json into the one that can't connect

You can even ask Claude to do it for you if you have access through ssh

Just install a previous version and it works

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s 2.1.89

Same problem here. Thanks L-earner, that tip about the previous version really helped me out!

@timfulker

Just ran this fix:

sudo curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.101

claude (to auth, paste worked for me on this version)

then sudo claude update

[jantb]

same here, its not possible to paste in the auth code any more. It used to work, now I cant paste anything into the prompt any more
