NB: user and username are used interchangeably. user precedes.  options = {user: "foo", password: "bar", org: "orgname"} ==> will use the provided password to obtain a token  options = {user: "foo", password: "bar", org: "orgname", no_token: true} ==> will use HTTP Basic auth with the provided username and password (no token)  options = {user: "foo", org: "orgname"} ==> will prompt for password, then obtain a token  options = {user: "foo", org: "orgname", no_token: true} ==> will prompt for password, then use HTTP Basic auth  options = {org: "orgname", netrc: true} ==> will retrieve username and password from .netrc  options = {org: "orgname", ssoZone: 'foo', passcode: 'xyz'} ==> will exchange passcode for token within the ssozone
