   Yes, this interactive login option absolutely exists, and it's integrated into opencode via the opencode-copilot-auth plugin. You should see an authentication option called login with github copilot not just api key.

   You can try:

   1. Checking if default plugins are disabled (env variable OPENCODE_DISABLE_DEFAULT_PLUGINS)
   2. Running opencode -> /models -> ctrl + a (to add a provider) and then configure

   If these don't work, try adding the plugin explicitly in your opencode.json:

   {
     "plugin": ["[email protected]"]
   }

   I just had the same issue - after some debugging I found that opencode was trying to download the plugins and failing (because of some config I had in my ~/.npmrc).

   If you try to run opencode --print-logs auth login, you might see something like this:

   opencode --print-logs auth login
   (...)

   Note the error with an HTTP 401.

   If that's your case, you can temporarily rename the ~/.npmrc just to see if it starts working.

   @mcking-07 I tried the steps you shared and still hit the issue, so I raised a issue.

   @PerGon Thanks, this worked. It looks like the failure was caused by my company registry configured in .npmrc. As a temporary workaround, I switched the registry to the default npm registry during setup and then reverted it afterward.
