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'.

The login command requires a working keyring on the system it is used on.
As an alternative, export 'SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS'
with the exported credentials.
