Feature Details

Description:

At for Fig 2.13.1, the only login option for a headless install is fig login, followed by authentication via email. I would be great if one could authenticate by providing credentials directly within fig login (e.g., fig login --username XXX --credentials XXX). Then, one could use 1password cli, GitHub Secrets, or something similar to automatically login to fig upon the creation of a devcontainer (or similar dev env setup).

This is in the works, the plan is to add an environment variable FIG_TOKEN which you can set here if you are using codespaces that will auth you by default

Yes this would be perfect for our devcontainer developer environments at HackerOne, being able to login with a token!

[nick-youngblut]

I see that fig login now allows for --token (using fig 2.14.2), but I can't figure out how to create the user token. @grant0417 can you please explain how to create the token?

[grant0417]

You can create a token by running fig user token new <token-name> somewhere where you are already logged in, you will get a token that should look like figapi_xxxxxxxxx which you can then use with fig login --token fig_api_xxxxxxxx to auth another machine.

Note the <token-name> is just a description of the token but is required.

There is now a page you can go to that you can generate tokens with and see all of your tokens, https://app.fig.io/settings/user-tokens
