Authentication

All commands authenticate using a WordPress Application Password. These are generated in Users → Profile → Application Passwords.

The CLI supports managing multiple sites (lps site config) and switching between them (lps site switch). For CI environments, credentials can be passed as environment variables (WP_URL, WP_USERNAME, WP_APP_PASSWORD).
