Device Code Authentication

​

How It Works

1. CLI requests code - You run npx depfixer login
2. Server generates code - A unique verification code is created
3. Browser opens - You’re taken to the verification page
4. You authorize - Enter the code and log in
5. CLI receives token - Access granted automatically
