CLI Authentication

After creating your account, authenticate the CLI to link it with your subscription.

Standard login

panguard login

The CLI automatically opens your default browser. Complete the authentication flow, then return to the terminal:

  PANGUARD AI

  -- Login Info ----------------------------------------

  Email     user@example.com
  Name      User Name
  Plan      Solo
  Expires   2026-04-27

  Login successful!

Verify your session

panguard whoami
  PANGUARD AI

  -- Account Info ----------------------------------------

  Email     user@example.com
  Name      User Name
  Plan      Solo
  Expires   2026-04-27
  Server    https://panguard.ai
CLI sessions are valid for 30 days. After expiration, run `panguard login` again to re-authenticate.

Headless and SSH servers

If you are working on a server without a browser:

panguard login --no-browser

This prints an authentication URL that you can copy and open on any device with a browser. After completing authentication on that device, the CLI session activates automatically.

  Open the following URL in your browser to complete login:
  https://panguard.ai/login?cli_state=abc123&callback=...

  Waiting for authentication...
The `--no-browser` flag is useful for CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, and remote servers accessed via SSH.

Subscription Management

Upgrade your plan

You can upgrade at any time through the website or CLI:

panguard upgrade

Or visit panguard.ai/pricing directly.

Check your current plan

panguard whoami

Log out

panguard logout

This removes the local authentication token. Your account and subscription remain active.

Troubleshooting

Use the `--no-browser` flag and open the printed URL manually: 
```bash
panguard login --no-browser
```
If you see a message indicating your plan does not support a feature, visit [panguard.ai/pricing](https://panguard.ai/pricing) to upgrade your subscription. CLI sessions expire after 30 days. Re-authenticate with: 
```bash
panguard login
```
