Sign in 404 error on VSCode

I’m currently unable to log in, so I can't access Mintlify. Could you assist with resolving this issue?

I have found a work around for this.

1. Select login from the extension, or directly visit the composed URL

https://mintlify.us.auth0.com/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=MOMiBZylQGPE0nHpbvzVHAT4TgU0DtcP&redirect_uri=https://mintlify.com/start/vscode&scope=openid profile email offline_access

This URL is composed from the elements found in vscode/src/helpers/auth.ts

2. Log in to your selected account through the Auth-0 link

3. You will be redirected to a 404 page

4. Look in the URL of this 404 page for the code parameter and copy it

5. Use this code to compose the following VSCode app URL in your browser

vscode://mintlify.document/auth?code={{ code from previous step }}

6. You will be asked if you want to open this URL in VSCode, Select allow

7. In VS code you will be asked if you want Mintlify Doc Writer to handle this link. Select allow

8. You should see a pop-up notification in the bottom right of the VSCode window stating that you are now logged in.
