doctl auth init

doctl auth --help
The `doctl auth` commands allow you to authenticate doctl for use with your DigitalOcean account using tokens that you generate in the control panel at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens.
If you work with a just one account, call `doctl auth init` and supply the token when prompted. This creates an authentication context named `default`.
To switch between multiple DigitalOcean accounts, including team accounts, create named contexts using `doctl auth init --context <name>`, then providing the applicable token when prompted. This saves the token under the name you provide. To switch between contexts, use `doctl auth switch --context <name>`.
To remove accounts from the configuration file, run `doctl auth remove --context <name>`. This removes the token under the name you provide.

doctl auth [command]
