# Authentication

> Sign in to the CLI and manage your session.

The CLI authenticates through your browser — no API keys to copy or paste.

## Sign in

```bash theme={null}
skillmd login
```

This opens your browser to approve the session, then stores credentials locally so you
stay signed in across commands.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Run login">
    `skillmd login` opens a browser window.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve">
    Confirm the sign-in for your skillmd account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to the terminal">
    The CLI saves your session and you're ready to go.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Check your account

See who you're signed in as and how much quota remains:

```bash theme={null}
skillmd whoami
```

## Sign out

Remove the locally stored credentials:

```bash theme={null}
skillmd logout
```

<Warning>
  On a shared or temporary machine, run `skillmd logout` when you're done so your
  session isn't left behind.
