Do you quit a tool when it asks for signup for a simple task?

Prompt

You open a tool for a quick daily task… and it asks you to create an account.
Do you continue or close the tab?
What makes you decide?

For me, I usually close the tab unless the tool clearly explains why signup is needed. If it’s just a one‑off task, extra friction feels unnecessary. Curious how others feel.

Discussion

Curious to hear different perspectives — especially from people who build tools.
When do you think signup is justified, and when does it become friction?
