Web Authentication Methods

macOS Permission Prompts

Viscosity.app Wants to Use example.com to Sign In

When using the "Open in Web Browser" method for authentication, macOS will prompt for permission to continue with the message "Viscosity.app" Wants to Use "example.com" to Sign In. This message comes from macOS, not Viscosity, and it will appear every time web authentication or re-authentication takes place when using the "Open in Web Browser" method.

To avoid this message, the "Open in Web Browser (Private Mode)" or "Open in Viscosity" methods can be used instead. macOS will not display the prompt when using either of these options. Please see the section above for more information about each.
