What's Wrong?
I don't know if this is a bug with Safari or with Claude Code, but I figure it's more likely a bug with Claude because of how well-maintained the Safari browser is and because Claude is relatively new.
Here's the issue: I run /login in Claude Code, I select login with a Claude account with a subscription, and it takes me to my default browser, Safari, to open the Claude login page. It opens correctly and I login, but, after completing my Google SSO, it takes me to Claude and, after a bit of loading, it takes me back to the login page I started at with this message from Safari: "This webpage was reloaded because a problem occurred".
Also, I'm on MacOS Tahoe 26.5. This problem was still happening a few weeks ago when I was on a pre-20 version of MacOS.
Retrying with Chrome as my browser, it works perfectly fine.
This is a complicated issue with a bunch of possible culprits, so I'm not sure what's at fault here, but I thought it better to report it than to not.
What Should Happen?
The Claude login webpage on Safari should authenticate me and let me continue to the Claude Code app.
