[Feature request] Login to Overleaf via webview in vscode?

[thisiscam]

Hi,

Thank you for this wonderful plugin!
I was just wondering if perhaps you could embed a webview in the plugin somewhere and point to overleaf.com, so that when the user logs in from vscode you can fetch the cookies directly?
That will save some clicks whenever users need to re-login.

Thank you again :)

Well, the webview-based login is our first thought, but it maybe too difficult to implement in vscode.
You can check this PR #12 for history record.

Is this feature now abandoned? I haven't seen any update on PR 83 for more than an year.

This is a "Feature Request" not the feature itself.

As for PR #83 , it is one (my personal) implementation and turned out not working.

Any PR is welcomed for this feature request.
