Running `lnd` for the first time will by default generate the `admin.macaroon`,
`read_only.macaroon`, and `macaroons.db` files that are used to authenticate
into `lnd`. They will be stored in the default `lnd` data directory. Note that
if you specified an alternative data directory (via the `--datadir` argument),
you will have to additionally pass the updated location of the `admin.macaroon`
file into `lncli` using the `--macaroonpath` argument.
into `lnd`. They will be stored in the network directory (default:
`lnddir/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet`) so that it's possible to use a distinct
password for mainnet, testnet, simnet, etc. Note that if you specified an
alternative data directory (via the `--datadir` argument), you will have to
additionally pass the updated location of the `admin.macaroon` file into `lncli`
using the `--macaroonpath` argument.
To disable macaroons for testing, pass the `--no-macaroons` flag into *both*
`lnd` and `lncli`.
