Solving the DNS-01 challenge using CLI prompt.
<!--more-->
## Example
To start using the CLI prompt "provider", start lego with `--dns manual`:
```console
$ lego --email "you@example.com" --domains="example.com" --dns "manual" run
```
What follows are a few log print outs, interspersed with some prompts, asking for you to do perform some actions:
```txt
No key found for account you@example.com. Generating a P256 key.
Saved key to ./.lego/accounts/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/you@example.com/keys/you@example.com.key
Please review the TOS at https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf
Do you accept the TOS? Y/n
```
If you accept the linked Terms of Service, hit `Enter`.
```txt

!!!! HEADS UP !!!!
Your account credentials have been saved in your Let's Encrypt
configuration directory at "./.lego/accounts".
You should make a secure backup of this folder now. This
configuration directory will also contain certificates and
private keys obtained from Let's Encrypt so making regular
backups of this folder is ideal.

```
Do as instructed, and create the TXT records, and hit `Enter`.

As mentioned, you can now remove the TXT record again.
