Registration and authentication in Deep Lake.

In order to use Deep Lake features that require authentication (Activeloop storage, connecting your cloud dataset to the Deep Lake UI, etc.) you should register and login with Deep Lake.
You can, or in the CLI using:
activeloop register -e <email> -u <username> -p <password>
After registering, you can create an API token in the (top-right corner, user settings) and authenticate in programatic interfaces using 3 options:
Set the environmental variable ACTIVELOOP_TOKEN
to your API token. In Python, this can be done using:
os.environ['ACTIVELOOP_TOKEN'] = <your_token>
Login in the CLI using two options:
activeloop login -u <username> -p <password>
activeloop login -t <your_token>
You can pass your API token to individual methods that require authentication such as:
ds = deeplake.load('hub://org_name/dataset_name', token = <your_token>)
Credentials created using the CLI login !activeloop login
expire after 1000 hrs. Credentials created using API tokens in the expire after the time specified for the individual token. Therefore, long-term workflows should be run using API tokens in order to avoid expiration of credentials mid-workflow.
