An Infisical Token is needed to authenticate the CLI when there isn't an easy way to input your login credentials.
|
|
|
|
It's useful for your CI/CD environments and integrations such as [Docker](/integrations/platforms/docker) and [Docker Compose](/integrations/platforms/docker-compose).
|
|
|
|
To generate the the token, head over to your project settings as shown below.

|
## Feeding Infisical Token to the CLI
|
|
|
|
The Infisical CLI checks for the presence of an environment variable called `INFISICAL_TOKEN`.
|
|
If it detects this variable in the terminal where it is being run, it will use it to authenticate and retrieve the environment variables that the token is authorized to access.
|
|
This allows you to use the CLI in environments where you are unable to run the `infisical login` command.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
The token grants read-only access to a particular environment and project for
|
|
a specified amount of time. Once the token is expired, the CLI using it will no longer be able to make
|
|
requests with it.
