Add a button to sign in through browser

Issue

Currently, when you want to use Roblox Studio for the first time, after downloading, or after logging out, you have to login with your Roblox credentials from scratch. Although some people prefer this, I don’t.
There was recently a “bug” where you had to log in through the website since you couldn’t do it using Studio, because of FunCaptcha. After it was fixed, I hoped that the feature would stay as it pretty much simplified the entire login-process.

Currently, you have to type in your username, then your password (or open password manager, type in the password there, get the OTP to log in, and then copy the password to Roblox and paste it in). And if you’re so lucky unfortunate to have two-step verification, you have to go to your email provider as well, and possibly log in there too. And if you have 2FA there as well (as you should), you have to go on your phone or any other device you use for TOTP/2FA and verify. Then, you can paste in the 2FA code Roblox gave you in Studio.

The point is that this takes too much unnecessary time since I’m already logged into my Roblox account on the website, and there should be an easier way to log in.

Solution

Similarly when Roblox had a temporary workaround where you had to sign in through your browser, I want there to be a button to do this automatically for you. It will then open up your default browser and go to https://www.roblox.com/login/return-to-studio and automatically fetch the credentials. This way, you save time and there is less hassle to get started with development.

Authentication through Studio has always been the intention. There are no plans to add an option to sign in through browser in Studio.

If you go to the Create Page and Edit one of your places, does it automatically sign you in? Let me know if this solves your use case!
