Remove Desktop App Login via Broswer Requirement

Currently the process for asana desktop is:

  1. Open Desktop App
  2. Enter email address in Desktop App
  3. Click “Sign in to asana”
  4. Browser opens with your email address defaulted
  5. Click “log in” again
  6. With some luck you’re hopefully redirected to the Desktop app and logged in

The architectural decision for this is lost on me, and the user experience in doing this is terrible. There should be an option titled “Direct login through desktop app” which changes the process to the following.

  1. Open Desktop App
  2. Enter email address in Desktop App
  3. Click “Sign in to asana”
  4. Desktop App logs you in

This is a much cleaner solution. And with SSO, the security requirement should be met.

thank you!
