When attempting to sign-in to [app.habitat.sh](https://app.habitat.sh/) using GitHub I get:

> DANGER  
> Authentication Failed  
> [err=2] bad\_verification\_code

I'm logged into GitHub, and I get past the OAuth permissions page on GitHub, it errors when I'm redirected back to app.habitat.sh.

I’m also seeing the exact same issue when trying to sign in.

You’ll need to set your _Public email_ to something other than "Don’t show my email address in your [GitHub profile](https://github.com/settings/profile).

There’s an issue open for this at [https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat/issues/861](https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat/issues/861).
