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

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.

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](https://storagestudio.us/manual/ai-access).
