What is the best way to login a user into a cli application?

Depending on your use case, you could use something similar to skate (written in go but the approach should still work). It's public key based so that the first time you use it it creates a new account, then if you use the same key again it uses the same account. You can link multiple computers by authorising the new machine/key from the original account.
