# Sign in

> Connect vio to your Viorant account, check your plan and sign out.

Validating a `.vio` file works offline with no account. Everything that talks to Viorant
Cloud — deploying, listing, logs — needs you to sign in.

## Sign in

```bash theme={"dark"}
vio login
```

`vio` opens Google sign-in in your browser and waits for it on your own machine. It also
prints the sign-in URL straight away, in case the browser doesn't open.

<Note>
  Sign in on the same machine that runs `vio`. The sign-in hands back to a local address
  on that machine, so a browser on another computer can't complete it.
</Note>

On a machine without a browser launcher, print the URL instead:

```bash theme={"dark"}
vio login --no-browser
```

## Check who you are

```bash theme={"dark"}
vio whoami    # your account and credit balance
vio status    # plan, credits, usage and how many agents you can still deploy
```

## Where credentials live

`vio` keeps one file, `~/.viorant/auth.json`, readable only by you (`0600`). It stores your
session and refreshes it automatically. Provider keys and connector tokens are never
written there.

## Sign out

```bash theme={"dark"}
vio logout
```

This clears the credentials on **this machine** only, and works offline.
