doctl auth command [options]

doctl auth manages authentication contexts for the DigitalOcean CLI. Contexts allow storing multiple API tokens for different accounts, teams, or environments.
The init command prompts for or accepts an API token, storing it securely. Multiple contexts can be configured and switched between, enabling management of different DigitalOcean accounts from a single CLI installation.
Authentication tokens are obtained from the DigitalOcean control panel and provide API access according to their scope.
