Recommended way to authenticate CLI?

[sam-potter]

As title says, but just wondering if there's a recommended way to authenticate a CLI.

Is it possible to generate a bearer token for a given user that doesn't expire, which they could paste into the CLI to be saved locally?

I'd actually implement this by yourself. Sessions, even when used as bearer tokens, are meant for applications. Just generate a random string with generateRandomString() and store it in a database.
