Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We previously used a self-hosted instance of Netbird that only supported Google sign-in. In that setup, reconnecting through the client was seamless—we were automatically reconnected without any additional steps.

Since Netbird has become an essential part of our workflow, we’ve switched from self-hosted to Netbird Cloud to reduce maintenance overhead. However, with this change, reconnecting now requires an extra step: when we get disconnected and click "Connect" in the client, we're first prompted with a login screen and must manually click the Google sign-in button each time.

Describe the solution you'd like

I’d like Netbird to remember the previously used login provider, so that when we click "Connect," the client can skip the authentication screen and automatically redirect to Google SSO.

I understand this isn’t a critical issue, but it would significantly streamline the reconnection process and improve the user experience for our team.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One alternative is to return to a self-hosted Netbird instance. However, we prefer not to take on the operational overhead of managing the service ourselves, as our priority is to focus on building and maintaining our own product. This is the main reason we switched to Netbird Cloud.

Additional unrelated note

We’re really happy with the service you’ve built—Netbird has made networking incredibly easy for us. Thanks for your great work!
