After logging in, your credentials are stored locally and will be used automatically by future CLI commands.

For fully automated environments such as scripts or CI pipelines, you may prefer a non-interactive access token. You can create one from your dashboard (Account > Access tokens), then export it as an environment variable. The CLI, as well as any script you run, will automatically detect it.

export STACKHERO_TOKEN="usr-xxxxxx:your-token"
