[Solved] How to report issues with aur web interface as regular user ?

There's an annoying issue with the aur web interface that I'd like to report.

The link for reporting such bugs on the aur home page points to https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/aurweb/-/issues .
Unfortunately you need to be logged in to create a new issue.

There's no option to create an account and the only supported method to login is archlinux SSO .
Since i'm not an arch dev , tu , devops team member etc but just a regular archlinux user I don't have such a login.

Does anybody know how/where I can file an issue with the aur web interface ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

After clicking archlinux sso it does show a list of my bbs/aur and a few other archlinux related accounts.
When they fail I get a button "sign in with github' and I do have a github.com account .

Unfortunately github wants me to setup mobile authentication which left me no choice but to abort.

I don't want archlinux , github or microsoft (owner of github)  to have more of my personal data then is absolutely necessary .
Guess I'll just wait until a more privacy-friendly login method is available (like hardware key or a TOTP application ).

Did you try to register an arch SSO account?

Gives the exact same "mobile authenticator setup" screen as when trying to use github login .

It shows "Install one of the following applications on your mobile" and lists a some android & IOS apps, nothing suitable on other devices.
Sorry, no "smart" phone available here. (and if there was one it wouldn't run those OSes)

IIRC, it just needs TOTP, and there are plenty of ways to do that on Arch. I use KeePassXC, but I know there are cli options.

Re: [Solved] How to report issues with aur web interface as regular user ?

I settled for using the oathtool command from oath-toolkit and managed to create an account. Not entirely happy with the username (seems that was copied from github in previous attempts) , but everything works.

Thanks for all help, feature request added to archweb bugtracker.
