btw I had difficulty in getting the app to build with the instructions in the README.
The libraries used in this app don't compile/run on node 16 so I had to install https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm and run nvm install 15 && nvm use 15 before executting npm install

Thanks for submitting this PR, I'll take a look at it as soon as I can!

I know the depencies might be a little outdated 😬😬
I also might have to upgrade to Vue3, but last time I checked Vuetify still didn't support it.

hi,

I've thought about this PR for the past couple of days and I think it's not the correct approach to solve this problem.

In my opinion VueTorrent should check if it needs to authenticate before displaying the login page. For example, if you have set up bypass_local_auth or bypass_auth_subnet_whitelist_enabled, qbittorrent doesn't require authentication to access its API if you're within the scope of the bypass, so it doesn't make sense to serve a login page in these cases.

I'll try to come up with a different solution but it might take some time since I'm not familiar with Vue.

I've updated the PR.
I've added a check if it's forbidden to access the /app/version API endpoint before serving the login page. This way VueTorrent avoids asking for login when it's not needed.

Looks like a good solution!
I will try to test it out tomorrow 🙂
Thx for putting in the effort
