Memcached: 1. Authenticate

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Memcached, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

Welcome to the Stackhero documentation

Stackhero provides a fully managed Memcached cloud that makes application caching simple, secure, and high-performing.

• Apply updates in seconds with one click.
• Get consistent performance and strong security on a private, dedicated infrastructure.

Free up your time and focus on building. Stackhero's Memcached cloud hosting is up and running in about 5 minutes.

The easiest way to get started is by logging in through your browser. When you run the login command, the CLI opens a web page where you can approve access. No passwords or 2FA codes are entered into the CLI itself.

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

For fully automated environments like scripts or CI pipelines, you might 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, and any script you run, will pick it up automatically.
