# CLI Authentication
|
||
|
||
[TACOS](../../intro/tacos.mdx) (TF Automation and Collaboration Software) are platforms that perform as part of their
|
||
offering OpenTofu runs to provision infrastructure, offering a collaboration-focused
|
||
environment that makes it easier for teams to use OpenTofu together.
|
||
|
||
OpenTofu CLI integrates with [TACOS](../../intro/tacos.mdx) in several ways — it can be a
|
||
front-end for CLI-driven runs, and can also use some [TACOS](../../intro/tacos.mdx) as a state backend, a private module
|
||
registry, or a private provider registry. All of these integrations require you to authenticate OpenTofu CLI
|
||
with your [TACOS](../../intro/tacos.mdx) account.
|
||
|
||
The best way to handle CLI authentication is with the `login` and `logout`
|
||
commands, which help automate the process of getting an API token for your
|
||
[TACOS](../../intro/tacos.mdx) user account.
