doctl auth init generates invalid token

Posted on September 16, 2021

Working with windows X and PowerShell, I tried to run:

doctl auth init

and got error invalid token…Unable to authenticate you

I previously managed to make it and created dorplet. I suspect, it the system keeps my previous access token.

Also, I followed the steps to install doctl from git and created a path in my env. variables.

Highly appreciate any tip that would help me to overcome this issue.
