Can an AI app I connect through AI access see my cloud account passwords?

\n

Short answer: No. With AI access on, an assistant can see an overview such as which accounts are connected, but never credentials, passphrases or file contents, and it can't change anything. It's off until you turn it on.

\n

No. If you turn on AI access, an assistant can see an overview — for example which accounts you've connected — so it can answer accurately. It never sees account credentials, passphrases, or the contents of your files, and it can't change anything.

\n

AI access is off until you switch it on, and you can switch it off again at any time. More in the AI access manual.
