Login Command

The login command authenticates you with DepFixer using a secure device code flow.

​
Usage

npx depfixer login

​
How It Works

​
1. Generate Code

DepFixer generates a unique code for your device: 
🔐 DEVICE CODE LOGIN
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

    Your verification code:

          ABCD-1234

    Opening browser to complete login...
    Waiting for authorization...

​
2. Browser Authorization

Your browser opens to the verification page where you:
  1. Enter the code (auto-filled if you clicked the link)
  2. Log in or create an account
  3. Approve the CLI access

​
3. CLI Confirmation

Once approved, the CLI confirms: 
✓ Logged in successfully

👤 ACCOUNT DETAILS
────────────────────────────────────────
    Name:     John Doe
    Email:    [email protected]
    Credits:  100 available

​
Token Storage

Credentials are stored securely at: 
~/.depfixer/credentials.json
File permissions are set to 0600 (owner read/write only).

​
Token Refresh

Tokens are automatically refreshed when:
  • Access token expires (1 hour lifetime)
  • You run any authenticated command
You don’t need to log in again unless:
  • You explicitly log out
  • Refresh token expires (30 days)
  • You revoke access from the web dashboard

​
Troubleshooting

​
Browser Doesn’t Open

Manually visit the URL shown in the terminal and enter the code.

​
Code Expired

Codes expire after 15 minutes. Run npx depfixer login again.

​
Already Logged In

If you’re already logged in, you’ll see your account info. Log out first with npx depfixer logout if you need to switch accounts.
