Log into CLI with token

complete

It would be really helpful / more secure to be able to log via

exp login

with just a username and private key.

Specifically this would enable a more secure build process for staging environments rather than having to store passwords.

You can now authenticate with the CLI or any public APIs using a private token. https://docs.expo.io/accounts/programmatic-access/

When I created the Expo GitHub Action, I struggled with this for a bit. Right now it's required to set both your username and (raw) password as repository secret. Some users might be hesitant to do this, because it gives the repository full access to their account. Right now I've tried to get it as secure as possible by adding a middleware-like script that performs the authentication as decent as possible.

I would love to see something like a token-based interaction that doesn't give the owner full access to the original account. Maybe even scoped, so you can set the token to "publish"-only or "build"-only. 😁
