cli: [Bug]: `shopify theme dev` not logging into password-protected store on Safari

It’s not ideal by any means, but I was able to work around this by going to Chrome, logging in with the site password, then copying the token it generates as a cookie to Safari.

Open DevTools in Chrome, go to the Application tab, then Cookies on the left. Search for storefront_digest, and copy the value. Then in Safari, go to your site, open Web Inspector and go to the Storage tab and select Cookies. Add a new cookie with the same name, paste the value, and access another page on your store.

@trvswgnr For me, that redirects me to older looking password page and then if i put same cookie, it automatically erases this cookie.

Make sure to enter / as the path and not allow Safari to use the default value of /password.

Still present using:

Version 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.6) @shopify/cli/3.44.1 darwin-x64 node-v19.7.0

One workaround that worked for me is to use Cloudflare Quick Tunnels

cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:9292

Then access the theme preview through the URL Cloudflare generates instead of localhost:9292

Ok, this is lame… YES THIS IS STILL RELEVANT! Will we need to poke it every 3 weeks arguing with a stupid robot while noone from shopify gives a * about it?! 😦

same issue here doesnt work on chrome or safari

This worked for me! Thanks @trvswgnr
