  description: >-
    Default mechanism. Running a pod or SDK session opens a browser-based login
    against the Bitfount Hub access manager (am.hub.bitfount.com); the user
    authenticates and the SDK caches the resulting access token for subsequent
    API calls to hub.bitfount.com.

- name: PodApiKeys
  type: apiKey
  description: >-
    Non-interactive alternative for unattended pods. Each pod can be assigned a
    key pair (accessKeyID + accessKey) created in the Bitfount Hub under
    My Pods > API Keys. The pod authenticates on initialisation using these
    values, avoiding the interactive web login.
