CLIF stores your credentials in a local file called .clif/authdata so you don’t need to re-enter your password on every command. When you sign up or log in, the client writes your user ID, password hash, server address, and username to that file. Subsequent commands read from it automatically.
.clif/authdata is stored relative to your current working directory. If you move to a different directory and run a clif command that requires auth, the client won’t find your credentials. Run clif login from the new directory to re-authenticate.
