API Key Authentication

The Sekuire CLI uses API key authentication. You'll need to create an API key from your dashboard and configure it with the CLI.

❗Sekuire uses API keys (not username/password). Create one from your dashboard at /dashboard/settings.

Quick Start

Go to your dashboard: https://sekuire.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api-keys
Click Create API Key
Copy the key (shown only once!)
Run sekuire login and paste your key

Terminalbash

$ sekuire login
🔐 Sekuire Login

📋 To authenticate:
   1. Go to: https://sekuire.ai/dashboard/settings?tab=api-keys
   2. Create a new API Key for CLI access
   3. Copy the key (you'll only see it once!)
   4. Paste it below

Enter your API Key: sk_live_...

✅ Login successful! API Key verified and bound to this device.

Commands

sekuire login — Configure API key
sekuire logout — Remove credentials
sekuire status — Check auth status
sekuire auth whoami — Show current user info

Configure your API key for CLI access. This binds your key to your device fingerprint for security.

bash

sekuire login [OPTIONS]

Option	Description
`--web-url <URL>`	Web app URL (default: http://localhost:5555)

Terminalbash

$ sekuire login
🔐 Sekuire Login

📋 To authenticate:
   1. Go to: http://localhost:5555/dashboard/settings?tab=api-keys
   2. Create a new API Key for CLI access
   3. Copy the key (you'll only see it once!)
   4. Paste it below

Enter your API Key: sk_live_abc123...

✅ Login successful! API Key verified and bound to this device.
   Device: MacBook-Pro
   OS: macos
   Fingerprint: a1b2c3d4e5f6...

ℹ️Your API key is bound to your device fingerprint. Using the same key on a different device requires re-verification.

Credentials Storage

Your API key is stored locally in ~/.sekuire/auth.json:

~/.sekuire/auth.jsonjson

{
  "api_key": "sk_live_...",
  "device_fingerprint": "a1b2c3d4...",
  "org_id": "org_...",
  "workspace_id": "ws_..."
}

⚠️The auth file contains your API key. It has 600 permissions (owner read/write only). Never share this file.

API Key Formats

Sekuire API keys have the following prefixes:

sk_live_ — Production API key
sk_test_ — Test/sandbox API key
