Yeah, I found the login requirement very confusing, and I definitely wasn't about to grant high-volume editing permission to an app I'd never heard of (WikiShootMe is the URL, but it's not mentioned on the page or in the HN article title, and HN clips off the subdomain). I needed to go hunt down the documentation (available under the hamburger menu), which makes it clearer (eventually) that authorizing is only required if you want to upload pictures through the WikiShootMe app - so you could skip authorizing and upload through Wikidata/Wikimedia Commons instead.
