Secure Credential Storage for Computer Use Agents: Enhancing Efficiency

With the introduction of computer use agent, I think there needs to be some secure method of securely storing credentials to go with it. Right now, my computer use agents get hung up whenever the account logs out for various reasons, but if the agent had secure access to a credential store associated with that computer, it would largely resolve the issue (and make computer use at least 73% more awesome) 🙂 Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Did you log into the browser with Chrome, by chance? I don’t have a ton of experience, but we have utilized this tool with a persistent Facebook login for a week+ and my understanding is Facebook allows persistent login for 30 days. Some logins won’t allow a login without 2FA, so that may be a hangup for the agent alternatively, unless it can do via email? Sorry, this is kind of a ramble.

Thanks, Kourtney! Yeah, I logged in via chrome and can save credentials there, but I've heard saving credentials in Chrome isn't the safest thing to do... Not sure if that's true or not, but it's something I've heard 🙂

I hear you! I think that if you’re logged into Chrome in the Lindy environment, you are only as vulnerable as the rest of your Lindy data is - meaning if your Lindy account was compromised, someone could access that logged in computer. You can also consider the ability for Support/Lindy team to access that info as well. So I see your reservation. I’m not sure if something like a LastPass extension or similar would be a good answer for that - so no one would necessarily be able to get into your LastPass but the agent would have access to what it needs as far as passwords and access goes? I don’t know, any time you’re handing over the keys to an agent or a platform, there’s def some risk involved.
