snapcraft register-key doesn't use U1 SSO login credentials
Metadata
Current evaluation
register-key re-prompts for U1 SSO credentials even after a successful snapcraft login, tested on snapcraft 2.19. ~10 years old, unlabelled, 0 comments, no maintainer activity; a near-identical Launchpad bug is also open.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The report is ~3603 days old with last activity 2526 days ago, 0 comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement, and it targets snapcraft 2.19, a version long superseded by the 7.x line whose store client and login/credential handling were rewritten around craft-store. The original problem is therefore no longer applicable to supported versions, though I could not verify current behavior in code (no pinned SHA available), which caps confidence.
