-#### Store your InfluxDB authentication token
-To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB [authentication token](/influxdb/v2.0/security/tokens/)
-with each `influx` command, use one of the following methods to store your token:
+#### Set your credentials
 
-1.  Set the `INFLUX_TOKEN` environment variable using your token.
+1. To avoid having to pass your InfluxDB [authentication token](/influxdb/v2.0/security/tokens/view-tokens/) with each `influx` command, set up a configuration profile if you haven't already.
+2. To see if you have a configuration profile, run `influx config`. If nothing is displayed, you don't have a configuration profile.
+3. To configure a profile, in a terminal, run the following command:
 
-    ```bash
-    export INFLUX_TOKEN=oOooYourAuthTokenOoooOoOO==
-    ```
+  ```sh
+   # Set up a configuration profile
+   influx config create -n default \
+     -u http://localhost:9999 \
+     -o example-org \
+     -t mySuP3rS3cr3tT0keN \
+     -a
+  ```
 
-2.  Store your token in `~/.influxdbv2/credentials`.
-    _The content of the `credentials` file should be only your token._
-
-If you [set up InfluxDB using the CLI](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/setup),
-InfluxDB stores your token in the credentials files automatically.
-
-_See [View tokens](/influxdb/v2.0/security/tokens/view-tokens/) for information about
-retrieving authentication tokens._
+   This configures a new profile named `default` and makes the profile active so commands run against this instance.
+   For more detail, see [influx config](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/cli/influx/config/).

 ## Mapped environment variables

 Some `influx` CLI flags are mapped to environment variables.
 Mapped flags get the value of the environment variable.
 To override environment variables, set the flag explicitly in your command.
