# auth list

The `auth list` command lists the auth methods enabled. The output lists the
enabled auth methods and options for those methods.

## Deprecation Status Column

As of 1.12, all builtin auth engines will have an associated Deprecation
Status. This status will be reflected in the `Deprecation Status` column, seen
below. All auth engines which are not provided by builtin plugins will show a
`Deprecation Status` of "n/a".

## Examples

List all auth methods:

```shell-session
$ vault auth list
Path         Type        Description
----         ----        -----------
token/       token       token based credentials
userpass/    userpass    n/a
```

List detailed auth method information:

```shell-session
$ vault auth list -detailed
Path        Plugin     Accessor                 Default TTL    Max TTL    Token Type         Replication    Seal Wrap    External Entropy Access    Options    Description                UUID                                    Deprecation Status
