Credential handover
AI
Credential handover is when an AI agent in a browser reaches a login and passes the live screen to a person to sign in, so it never sees or stores the password.
For example, an agent downloading a weekly report from a supplier portal reaches the sign-in page. The teammate who asked gets the live screen, signs in with their password and code, and the agent finishes the download.
Credential handover lets agents work in password-protected sites without your passwords ever being shared with the AI.
No. Use a product that hands you the screen to sign in yourself, or connects through OAuth, so your password never goes into a chat or the agent's memory.
The same way as a password: the person completes the code on the live screen and the agent continues once signed in.
