}Verifies the email + password pair and opens a session by setting the httpOnly
recurso_session cookie. Errors are deliberately generic — unknown email and
wrong password both return the same 401 — so the endpoint cannot be used to
enumerate accounts.
If the account has MFA enabled, the response is a challenge instead of a
session: complete it with POST /auth/login/mfa.
Example Request
curl -X POST https://api.recurso.dev/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-c cookies.txt \
-d '{
"email": "admin@acme.com",
"password": "s3cur3P@ssw0rd"
}'
Example Response
{
"user": {
"id": "7b3f9c12-5e8a-4d16-b429-1c6f8a2d0e57",
"email": "admin@acme.com",
"name": "Ada Admin",
"role": "owner"

This endpoint powers the dashboard’s session auth. Server-to-server
integrations should authenticate with an API key
(
Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY) instead — see
