Authenticating with the Payments Wallet

When the wallet is not signed in (detected via npx awal status or when wallet operations fail with authentication errors), use the npx awal CLI to authenticate.

If you have access to email, you can authenticate the wallet yourself, otherwise you'll need to ask your human to give you an email address and to tell you the OTP code they receive.

Authentication Flow

Authentication uses a two-step email OTP process:

Step 1: Initiate login

npx awal@latest auth login <email>

This sends a 6-digit verification code to the email and outputs a flowId.

Step 2: Verify OTP
