Safety version

3.2.14

Python version

3.9.21

Operating System

Linux Ubuntu 24.04

Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

safety scan requires login, and login-less safety check using open source databases is deprecated.

Describe the ideal solution

Re-enable safety check, or disable login requirement for the free version of safety scan.

Alternatives and current workarounds

No response

Additional context

Current state makes me unable to use safety in CI and as a pre-commit hook. For open source projects (I maintain https://github.com/scikit-fingerprints/scikit-fingerprints), we cannot require maintainers to create safety accounts. This deprecation also affects pre-commit hooks that relied on safety check.

What I Did

pip install safety, and run safety check or safety scan.
