+This runs the device code flow: it opens your browser, you confirm the code, and a token is saved to `~/.cipherstash/auth.json`. No environment variables or credentials files are needed for local development.

 ## Configuration
 
-### Environment Variables
+### Local Development
+
+No environment variables or credentials are needed for local development. Run `npx @cipherstash/stack auth login` to authenticate via the device code flow, and the SDK and CLI will use the token saved to `~/.cipherstash/auth.json`.

+### Going to Production

+For production, CI/CD, and deployed environments, you'll need to set up machine credentials via environment variables:

-Store these in a `.env` file or set them in your hosting platform.

-Sign up at [cipherstash.com/signup](https://cipherstash.com/signup) and follow the onboarding to generate credentials.

-### TOML Config
-
-You can also configure credentials via `cipherstash.toml` and `cipherstash.secret.toml` files in your project root. See the [CipherStash docs](https://cipherstash.com/docs) for format details.
