Thanks for the comments! Reverted the complete part then, to only focus on the ` .no_exist` cache, and added some tests. One question I have is that the current code...

Could you explain a bit more why you can't paste it? On my side, I get the login window like on a regular notebook/colab and can paste the token then...
