Description

@loujaybee

Currently when reconnecting with VS code via the owner token approach the user is prompted for the owner token, however

Steps to replicate

  • Set gitpod.remote.useLocalApp in VS Code
  • Start a workspace
  • Open in VS Code Desktop
  • Stop and start the workspace (with VS Code Desktop still open)

Expected result

  • Prompt to "copy" the access token is given before password prompt

Actual result

  • Password prompt is given without the copy the access token option

Alternatives:

  • Make it easier to find + copy the owner token
  • Improve SSH upload approach (however some users might need access token approach as primary access method)
