# influx v1 auth

-   influx CLI 2.0.0+

#### Not supported in InfluxDB Cloud

**InfluxDB Cloud** does not support InfluxDB 1.x compatible authorizations. To authenticate with InfluxDB Cloud, use [InfluxDB token authentication](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/).

The `influx v1 auth` subcommands provide authorization management for the [InfluxDB 1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/cloud/reference/api/influxdb-1x/).

InfluxDB Cloud uses [API tokens](/influxdb/cloud/admin/tokens/) to authorize API requests. The [1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/cloud/reference/api/influxdb-1x/) lets clients authenticate with InfluxDB Cloud using the InfluxDB 1.x convention of username and password.

v1-compatible authorizations are separate from the credentials used to log into the InfluxDB user interface.

## Usage

```
influx v1 auth [flags]
influx v1 auth [command]
```
