vercel login

Learn how to login into your Vercel account using the vercel login CLI command.

The vercel login command allows you to login to your Vercel account through Vercel CLI.

Usage

terminal
vercel login

Using the vercel login command to login to a Vercel account.

Vercel CLI supports the following login methods:

  • GitHub OAuth
  • GitLab OAuth
  • Bitbucket OAuth
  • Email confirmation
  • SAML Single Sign-On via your Team's identity provider

When no arguments are provided, an interactive prompt will be displayed asking the user which login method should be used.

To skip the interactive prompt, you may also provide your email address, or Team slug (for SAML Single Sign-On), as an argument to vc login.

terminal
vercel login me@example.com

terminal
vercel login acme

GitLab

Out-of-band Mode

The --oob option can be used to enable to "out-of-band" mode during login, which requires the user to copy the "verification token" from the web browser after an OAuth login, and paste it back into Vercel CLI to complete the login.
