Yeah, unfortunately the 'login' event was a casualty of us refactoring on top of Chromium's new 'network service' code. It's currently just ... not attached at all. Whoops. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/7-0-x/shell/browser/login_handler.cc#L37-L39

Any thoughts on when this will be implemented? This is holding me back from updating to 7.x. Is there anything I can do to help with the fix?
