Accept your invitation to Confluent Cloud for Government

Log in to Confluent Cloud for Government

After running this command, you receive a printout of a URL, which you must copy and paste into a local browser. After you provide your credentials and successfully log in, the browser displays a code that you must copy and paste back into in the Confluent CLI. Your workflow should look like the following:

confluent login --us-gov --no-browser
