Unable to log into customer account when using shopify theme serve

I can concur this is still an issue for Shopify CLI version 2.7.4

When on localhost:9292 and you try to access the account area of your shop you’re prompted to login. When logging in you get a reCaptcha on localhost:9292/challenge. After submitting the reCaptcha you’re redirected to the actual store address my-shop-slug.myshopify.com/challenge and have to do it again.

You can work around it though by disabling Google reCaptcha for the account page.

  1. Go to the Admin page for your (development) store

  2. Go to Online Store > Preferences

  3. Scroll down to the ‘Spam protection’ section

  4. Uncheck checkbox for “Enable Google reCAPTCHA on login, create account and password recovery pages”

This is a suitable workaround for me as it’s a development store.
