# kaab auth login

Check an API key and store it in a profile

## Synopsis

Checks the key against the API (GET /org) and stores it in the OS keychain, or in
~/.config/kaab/credentials.toml (0600) when there is no keychain. A profile holds one live and
one test key; --test then selects the test one.

```
