export-login
============

Log in to the Snap Store with your Ubuntu One SSO credentials.
If you do not have any, you can create them at https://login.ubuntu.com

To use the alternative authentication mechanism (Candid), set the
environment variable 'SNAPCRAFT_STORE_AUTH' to 'candid'.

This command exports credentials to use on systems where login is not
possible or desired.
