Why does every REST testing software want me to login?

I just want to build requests and read the responses, why the hell does everyone suddenly want me to make an account?

@lorty I feel your pain; I had to switch from Postman to Insomnia because I couldn't use the local application anymore without creating an account, but even Insomnia is pushing to create an account somewhere.

Works brilliantly. But, not maintained for some months now.

More than enough for me though.

@makingStuffForFun wow, just realized my build of Insomnia was 2023.5.8, (the exact version before they switched to logins). I'll have to grab a copy of insomnium. No concern that it may not be actively maintained; it's just a basic Electron app.
