Authentication
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Before tooting, you need to login to a Mastodon instance:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot login
|
|
|
|
**Two factor authentication** is supported experimentally, instead of ``login``, you should instead run ``login_2fa``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
toot login_2fa
|
|
|
|
You will be asked to chose an instance_ and enter your credentials.
|
|
|
|
.. _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
|
