# New Vercel CLI login flow

**Published:** September 12, 2025 | **Authors:** Balázs Orbán, Bel Curcio, Christopher Skillicorn, Enric Pallerols, Mark Roberts

The `vercel login` command now uses the industry-standard [OAuth 2.0 Device Flow](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8628), making authentication more secure and intuitive. You can sign in from any browser-capable device.

When approving a login, be sure to verify the location, IP, and request time before granting access to your Vercel account.

Email-based login (`vercel login your@email.com`) and the flags `--github`, `--gitlab`, `--bitbucket`, `--oob`, and `team` are deprecated. These methods will no longer be supported beginning **February 26, 2026**, except for the `team` method (SAML-based login), which remains supported until **June 1, 2026**.

*Note: Support had previously been extended from the original deprecation date of February 1, 2026 to June 1, 2026. To prioritize user security, we are moving the deprecation date forward: most of these methods will be removed on February 26, 2026, with the **`team`** method following on June 1, 2026.*

**Upgrade today with ****`npm i vercel@latest`**
