# Authentication
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw supports two authentication methods for model providers: OAuth and API keys. For Anthropic users, an API key is recommended, though Claude subscription users can alternatively use tokens from `claude setup-token`.
|
|
|
|
## Key Setup Methods
|
|
|
|
### API Key Approach (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Set your Anthropic API key on the gateway host via environment variable or the `~/.openclaw/.env` configuration file, then verify with `openclaw models status`.
|
|
|
|
### Claude Subscription Token
|
|
|
|
Users with Claude subscriptions can run `claude setup-token` on the gateway host and import it using `openclaw models auth setup-token --provider anthropic`.
|
|
|
|
## Credential Management
|
|
|
|
Users can control which authentication credential is active through:
|
|
|
|
- Per-session selection via `/model <alias>@<profileId>` commands
|
|
- Per-agent configuration using auth profile ordering commands
|
|
- Status checks with `openclaw models status` or `openclaw doctor`
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Common issues include missing credentials (resolved by rerunning `claude setup-token`) and token expiration (identifiable through status commands). The system provides automation-friendly checks that return specific exit codes for expired or missing credentials.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
Users need either a Claude Max or Pro subscription and the Claude Code CLI installed to access setup-token functionality.
