When I sign into the mobile app using the recovery key, it logs in using the browser in the app, it never returns to the native app.

Hey @tekrondo , thanks for this feedback! Can I ask a couple of questions to gain a better understanding here?

• You mention When I sign into the mobile app using the recovery key. For my understanding, can you clarify where you're tapping within the login flow to use recovery keys to sign in?
  • For context, recovery keys are meant for account recovery when you've lost all other 2FA methods, so I wouldn't anticipate them to complete the OAuth flow to log you into GitHub Mobile itself. I'd love to learn more here!
• You mention it logs in using the browser in the app, it never returns to the native app. Does this mean that you're using GitHub Mobile to recover your account? Or you're using recovery codes from a github-recovery-codes.txt to log into GitHub Mobile?

Thanks for your help in diagnosing this one!
