GitHub CLI 2.26.0
When running gh auth login, your credentials will now be stored in your operating system's credential storage instead of directly on disk. In other words, --secure-storage is now default behavior. We've added a new flag, --insecure-storage, to opt into the old insecure behavior in case you need to debug an issue with credential storage.
As before, to take advantage of credential storage, please re-run gh auth login.
