Authentication
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Before tooting, you need to login to a Mastodon instance.
|
|
|
|
If you don't use two factor authentication you can log in directly from the command line:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot login
|
|
|
|
You will be asked to chose an instance_ and enter your credentials.
|
|
|
|
If you do use **two factor authentication**, you need to log in through your browser:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot login_browser
|
|
|
|
You will be redirected to your Mastodon instance to log in and authorize toot to access your account, and will be given an **authorization code** in return which you need to enter to log in.
|
|
|
|
.. _instance: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/List-of-Mastodon-instances.md
|
|
|
|
The application and user access tokens will be saved in two files in your home directory:
|
|
|
|
* ``~/.config/toot/instances/<name>`` - created for each mastodon instance once
|
|
* ``~/.config/toot/user.cfg``
|
|
|
|
You can check whether you are currently logged in:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot auth
|
|
|
|
And you can logout which will remove the stored access tokens:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot logout
