### Log in to gitea from tea
gitea can use many different authentication schemes, and not every authentication method will work with every gitea deployment. When you are a gitea instance administrator you can tweak your settings to fit your use case. For the method that is most likely to work with any gitea deployment use the following steps:
1. Open the gitea web in a web browser
2. Do whatever it takes to log in to gitea in your web browser. Any MFA, IDP, or whatever else should be available this way.
3. In gitea settings generate an application token with at least **user read** permissions. If you want to do anything useful with the token add additional permissions/scopes.
4. Run `tea login add`, select **application token** authentication when asked for authentication type, and answer **yes** to the question if you have a token. Paste the generated token when asked for one.
You should now be logged in to your gitea instance from tea.
Since 0.10 gitea supports the much simpler oauth workflow but oauth may not be available on all gitea deployments, and gets much more complex when running tea on a remote system.
