Keep in mind nothing is bundled, you hand the server your public key, it then encrypts your token using it. I know it may feel a bit overkill but I do not want to amend the protocol here. So when you “show” the api key to the user actually show the **encrypted** api key. Your CLI can then decrypt it cause it holds the private key.
