I always refuse to use their official desktop app, I'm not making an account / scrambling to remember my username / password, for the one time in a blue moon I need docker to evaluate a piece of software.

Nobody forces you to log in when using docker desktop. Perfectly usable without an account, unless you want to push images to their registry.

That must have changed recently, it always asks me to login and I dont keep any images on their registry, that or they present it as a dark pattern where the option to NOT login is non-obvious. Even so, I'll stick to just not using Docker, I never have any use cases for it outside of as I said, evaluating software that requires it for whatever awful reason.

There is a skip login button. It's definitely less highlighted then the login form, but it is visible right on that dialog.
