claude.ai supports only either magic email links or google sign in. definitely a factor in why I prefer ChatGPT.

Also encountered this today and I didnt remember what email I used to login, so I tried both but now I seem to have 2 claude accounts, ugh…

I just signed up for Claude yesterday and I didn't even realize that I didn't enter a password. It was when I wanted to use it on my phone (with Firefox, not the app) that I realized that there was no Claude entry in my password manager. It made me irrationally angry for about 5 minutes, and had I known it in advance, I would probably not have bothered.

I also find their magic link annoying, but since claude.com doesn't log me out all of the god damn time like chatgpt.com does, Claude is winning this round too...even though this is not a factor in why I prefer one vs the other.
