Pivotal Cloud Foundry login issue

I have a PWS account and after installing Cloud Foundry command line interface (CLI), I tried login from windows command prompt, CYGWIN terminal and Gitbash. In all the above cases, I cannot login by cf login

But I am able to login if i issue the command: cf auth email password But the problem with this command is that I am exposing my password on the command line.

Question: I would like to know how users of Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface, login to the PWS.

Update 04/29: Sharing what i see while trying cf login in Cygwin and Gitbash. Both gives the same type of error response. Note that I don't want to put -p password as plaintext in command line unless I am asked explicitly.

It's not even asking for password, and responding that unable to authenticate!

In windows command prompt:

D:\spiderman>cf login

You can try with

cf login -a https://api.run.pivotal.io --skip-ssl-validation -o <Org_Name> -s <Space_Name>

回答2:

if you don't want to expose your password to command line.you can use sso validation. cf login -a https://api.run.pivotal.io -sso this will give you passcode with that you can do login. make sure you must login first, using your email in the browser.

I solved it in Gitbash by calling cf login using winpty:
