+**NOTE** to authenticate, you need to generate a token from the OpenGWAS
+website. The token behaves like a password, and it will be used to
+authorise the requests you make to the OpenGWAS API. Here are the steps
+to generate the token and then have `ieugwasr` automatically use it for
+your queries:
+
+1.  Login to <https://api.opengwas.io/profile/>
+2.  Generate a new token

+5.  To check that your token is being recognised, run

+6.  To check that your token is working, run `ieugwasr::user()`. It will
