is this a bad practice

var result = await HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync(
               CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme
           );

var result = await HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync(
               CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme
           );

is it bad to access httpcontext directly? what is the alternative?

should be fine depending on the context, i.e. if you're in a controller. you can also inject the IHttpContextAccessor through DI if you want an alternative
