## AI-generated summary

A user encountered an error when attempting to use a CLI login authentication command. The system prompted them to specify a store either by:

- Passing `--store {your_store_url}`
- Setting the `SHOPIFY_FLAG_STORE` environment variable

Another participant clarified that the standalone `login` command is no longer available in recent CLI versions. 

**Current solution:** Run `shopify theme dev --store myshopify.com` instead, as the store specification is now passed as a flag on the `dev` command rather than through a separate login step.

The issue appears resolved with this workaround, though the discussion remains brief.

Hi Solcabz,

I believe you’re seeing this error because the login command isn’t on recent versions of the CLI, it’s generally passed as a flag on the dev command.

You should run `shopify theme dev --store iconiqlast.myshopify.com`
