-Basic HTTP Auth config
------------------------
-
-With the ``add-basic`` subcommand you can add Basic HTTP Auth credentials
-for a given back-end to the config.
-It will interactively ask for username and password and
-try if these credentials work::
-
-    $ openeo-auth add-basic https://openeo.example.com/
-    Enter username and press enter: john
-    Enter password and press enter:
-    Trying to authenticate with 'https://openeo.example.com'
-    Successfully authenticated 'john'
-    Saved credentials to '/home/john/.config/openeo-python-client/auth-config.json'
-
-Now you can authenticate in your application without having to
-specify username and password explicitly::
