+= Logging in to the OpenShift CLI using a web browser
+
+You can log in to the OpenShift CLI (`oc`) with the help of a web browser to access and manage your cluster. This allows users to avoid inserting their access token into the command line.
+
+[WARNING]
+====
+Logging in to the CLI through the web browser runs a server on localhost with HTTP, not HTTPS; use with caution on multi-user workstations.
+====
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You must have access to an {product-title} cluster.
+* You must have installed the OpenShift CLI (`oc`).
+* You must have a browser installed.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Enter the `oc login` command with the `--web` flag:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc login <cluster_url> --web <1>
+----
+<1> If needed, you can specify the callback port and server URL.
+
+. The web browser opens automatically. If it does not, click the link in the command output. If you do not specify the {product-title} server `oc` tries to open the web console of the cluster specified in the current `oc` configuration file. If no `oc` configuration exists, `oc` prompts interactively for the server URL.
++
+.Example output
+
+[source,terminal]
+----
+Opening login URL in the default browser: https://openshift.example.com
+Opening in existing browser session.
+----
++
+.Example 
+
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc login <https://api.your-openshift-server.com> --web --callback-port 8280 localhost:8443
+----
+. If more than one identity provider is available, select your choice from the options provided. 
+
+. Enter your username and password into the corresponding browser fields. After you are logged in, the browser displays the text `access token received successfully; please return to your terminal`. 
+
+. Check the CLI for a login confirmation.
++
+.Example output
+
+[source,terminal]
+----
+Login successful.
+
+You don't have any projects. You can try to create a new project, by running
+
+    oc new-project <projectname>
+
+----
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+The web console defaults to the profile used in the previous session. To switch between Administrator and Developer profiles, log out of the {product-title} web console and clear the cache.
+====
+
+You can now create a project or issue other commands for managing your cluster.
