Description

@matifali

Problem Description

Users have reported friction due to the Coder CLI and Coder Desktop managing authentication separately. This fragmented experience reduces usability and creates hurdles for wider CLI adoption across platforms like Windows and macOS.

Desired Solution

Enable shared credential storage between Coder CLI and Coder Desktop for macOS and Windows:

Use native OS keychains (e.g., Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain) for secure storage.

Ensure both CLI and Desktop can read/write to a common credentials entry.
