Display a login screen and allow the user to enter a user name and the corresponding password. The password will be obscured using asterisks.

The provided user name and password will be stored in the username and password configuration settings.

The user is able to use Ctrl-C (or Escape) to exit the login prompt without entering a user name or password. You may therefore wish to always handle failures of the login command. For example:

  login || goto cancelled

If you need to customise the login screen in any way, you can use the present command to display a custom form. The login command is equivalent to using the commands:

  form
  item          username  Username
  item --secret password  Password
  present
