title: Auth prompt sign-in button should redirect directly to Logto
area: auth
files:
  - src/client/components/AuthPromptModal.tsx
---

## Problem

When an unauthenticated user clicks a protected action, the AuthPromptModal pops up. Clicking "Sign In" navigates to an intermediate /signin page, where they have to click again to be redirected to Logto. That's two extra clicks — the modal + the signin page — before reaching the actual login.

## Solution

Make the "Sign In" / "Sign Up" buttons in the AuthPromptModal redirect directly to the Logto OIDC login endpoint (e.g., `/api/auth/login` or wherever the OIDC redirect is triggered). Skip the intermediate page entirely — one click from modal to Logto.
