Domains Management:

popcli -u=tom@pop.co -p=xyzzy -d=q4a.co domains list

config

If you don't want to constantly type your credentials you can create a .popclirc file and put your credentials in there:

user=xxx@domain.tld
pass=qwerty
domain=domain.tld

Any flags you pass in the command line will override whatever it's in the config. e.g.

popcli -d=otherdomain.tld ...

The above will use otherdomain.tld rather than domain.tld defined in the config.

Pro Tip: You can also put .popclirc file in your $HOME directory and then just change whatever options you want on a per project/folder basis. Handy when you have multiple domains.
