Description

Would it be possible to make aws-google-auth pop up the standard google auth webpage (Normally lets you pick a google account) instead of asking for username+password in the CLI?

This would be nice as I'm already logged into google and so wouldn't need to re-enter my user+pass, and it would also dodge the annoying captcha challenge.

Research direction
Investigate how the current CLI authentication works in the codebase (likely in modules handling SAML response). Research how to launch a local web server to receive the OAuth callback after user authenticates via browser. Consider security implications and how to handle the captcha challenge.
