# auth
The `auth` command groups subcommands for interacting with Vault's auth methods.
Users can list, enable, disable, and get help for different auth methods.
For more information, please see the [auth method
documentation](/docs/auth/index.html) or the [authentication
concepts](/docs/concepts/auth.html) page.
To authenticate to Vault as a user or machine, use the [`vault login`](/docs/commands/login.html) command instead. This command is for
interacting with the auth methods themselves, not authenticating to Vault.
## Examples
Enable an auth method:
```text
$ vault auth enable userpass
Success! Enabled userpass auth method at: userpass/
```
List all auth methods:
```text
$ vault auth list
Path Type Description
---- ---- -----------
token/ token token based credentials
userpass/ userpass n/a
```
Get help about how to authenticate to a particular auth method:
```text
$ vault auth help userpass/
Usage: vault login -method=userpass [CONFIG K=V...]
# ...
```
Disable an auth method:
```text
$ vault auth disable userpass/
Success! Disabled the auth method (if it existed) at: userpass/
```
Tune an auth method:
```text
$ vault auth tune -max-lease-ttl=30m userpass/
Success! Tuned the auth method at: userpass/
```
## Usage
```text
Usage: vault auth <subcommand> [options] [args]
# ...
Subcommands:
disable Disables an auth method
enable Enables a new auth method
help Prints usage for an auth method
list Lists enabled auth methods
tune Tunes an auth method configuration
```

of the subcommand in the sidebar.
