auth:login

Register Cloud Platform API credentials

Authenticates ACLI with Acquia Cloud Platform.

Acquia CLI can store multiple sets of credentials in case you have multiple Cloud Platform accounts. However, only a single account can be active at a time. This command allows you to activate a new or existing set of credentials.

Which sign-in it uses depends on what is already stored:

• --use-legacy-auth, or --key/--secret on the command line, always uses the API key and secret.
• An active API key: ACLI reports it and offers device code sign-in instead. Declining keeps the existing key chooser.
• An active device code session: ACLI offers to re-authenticate by device code.
• Nothing stored: device code sign-in, which needs no API key.

Device code sign-in prints a URL and a short code. Open the URL in a browser on any device, sign in to Acquia, and confirm the code to finish signing in.
