What's going wrong
Owners of self-hosted the tool's say another tool will not finish setup until they create or link a platform.com account, even when they have no other reason to use that service. Some also face extra sign-in steps such as a password and a text-message code, and say the requirement feels unexplained. Others wonder why a connection is involved at all. The problem affects store owners who only want product listings in another platform and would welcome a setup path that does not need that account.
