+## Authentication
+
+Authenticate with your Mintlify account to use CLI features that require access to your project, such as analytics.
+
+### Log in
+
+```bash
+mint login
+```
+
+This command opens your browser to authenticate with Mintlify. After you authorize in the browser, the CLI receives your credentials automatically. If the browser doesn't open, the CLI displays a URL you can copy and a prompt where you can paste the authorization code manually.
+
+### Check authentication status
+
+View the account and organization associated with your current session:
+
+```bash
+mint status
+```
+
+### Log out
+
+Remove your stored credentials:
+
+```bash
+mint logout
+```
+
