Authentication Setup

Choose one of these authentication methods:

Method 1: Username/Password (Easiest)

drplr auth login your_username your_password

Method 2: JWT Token (More Secure)

1. Log into d.pr in your browser
2. Open Chrome DevTools > Application > Cookies > d.pr
3. Copy the JWT token value
4. Configure the CLI:

   drplr auth token eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...

Note: JWT tokens may expire and may need to be refreshed periodically.
