Token Storage
Authentication tokens are stored securely using the OS keychain:

Browser doesn't open during login
If the browser doesn't open automatically, copy the URL from the terminal and paste it into your browser.
Token expired
Tokens are automatically refreshed when they expire. If you encounter issues, run:
getjobber-cli auth refresh
Or login again:
getjobber-cli login
