# kiste login

> Log in through a short-lived browser OAuth flow.

Signing in also adds this computer's SSH key to your account, so every Kiste of the account accepts it.

```text
kiste login [OPTIONS]
```

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--no-open` | Print the authorization URL instead of opening it automatically. |
| `--with-token` | Read an API token from standard input instead of using the browser (headless computers and CI): `kiste login --with-token < token.txt`. |

Global options such as `--json` work with every command; see [the CLI overview](https://docs.kiste.run/cli.md#global-options).
