# Give agents credentials for other apps

> Store API keys and app logins safely, and choose which agents, projects and SOPs may use them.

To work in another app, such as sending a newsletter in Mailchimp or reading survey answers in Typeform, an agent needs that app's login: an API key, a token or an app connection. You store these once as credentials. OKiDO keeps the secret values encrypted and never shows them again; you decide which agents may use a credential, and in which projects and SOPs.

## Add a credential

1. In the menu on the left, choose **AI**, then the **Credentials** tab.
2. Choose **Add Credential**.
3. Search for the application and choose it. When an app offers several ways to sign in, choose one, for example its API.
4. Give the credential a **Credential Name** you will recognize, add a description if you like, and fill in the key or token the app gave you.
5. Choose **Save Credential**.

The credential is added to the list.

To change or delete a credential, point at it in the list and choose the pencil or the bin.

## Let an agent use a credential

1. Open the agent: **AI**, the **Agents** tab, then the agent.
2. Choose the **Credentials** tab.
3. Pick the credential in **Select a credential to add…** and choose **Add**.
4. Under **Project Scope**, choose where the agent may use it: **All projects**, **Selected only** or **No projects**. With **Selected only**, choose the projects.
5. Do the same for SOPs under **SOP Scope**.

Each change is saved right away, and the line under the credential's name sums up where the agent may use it. To take a credential away from the agent, choose the bin next to it.
