How do I let agents log in to websites for me?

Two sections on the settings page handle this. Saved logins is where you store a site's username and password so agents can fill them in for you in the preview browser. Import passwords pulls those logins in bulk from Chrome so you do not have to type each one. Both are in the left list of the full settings page.

Add one login by hand

  1. Open the gear () and click See all settings →, then click Saved logins.
  2. Click + add credential.
  3. Fill in the fields:
    • Name, a label for this login (for example "olivia-admin").
    • URL, the site address (for example "https://olivia.test").
    • Username / email.
    • Password. On a new entry this is required; when editing, leave it blank to keep the existing one.
    • 2FA TOTP secret (optional), if the site uses a two-factor code. Paste the otpauth:// link or the base32 secret.
    • Notes (optional).
  4. Click save. The button reads saving… while it stores.

Before you have added anything, the section reads:

No saved credentials. Add one and agents can log in for you in any quadrant's preview browser.

What a saved login looks like

Each saved login shows as a row with its name and, underneath, its domain and username. If you saved a two-factor secret, a small 2FA badge appears next to the name; its tooltip reads "2FA TOTP saved — codus will auto-fill the 6-digit code". On each row:

  • The button opens it for editing.
  • The button deletes it.

When editing a login that has a two-factor secret, a Remove saved TOTP button lets you clear only the code without touching the password.

Import passwords from Chrome

If your logins are already saved in Chrome, you can bring them across in one go:

  1. Open See all settings →, then click Import passwords.
  2. Pick a profile from the dropdown. Each option reads as the browser and profile name.
  3. Click Import. The button reads Importing… while it runs.
  4. macOS may ask to allow keychain access. The hint on screen reads "The OS may prompt you to allow keychain access — click Always Allow." Click Always Allow so the import can read the saved passwords.

When it finishes, a line summarises what happened, for example "12 added · 3 updated (out of 15)".

How do I know it worked?

A new hand-typed login appears in the Saved logins list right away. After an import, the result line tells you how many were added and updated. From then on, agents can fill those credentials into the preview browser when a site asks for them.

Common problems

  • Import says "No supported browser detected (Chrome)". Only Chrome is supported for import, and it needs to be installed. To add a login without Chrome, use + add credential on the Saved logins page.
  • The dropdown says "No profiles with saved logins found". codus found Chrome but no profile with stored passwords. Save a login in Chrome first, or add it by hand.
  • The keychain prompt keeps appearing. Choose Always Allow rather than Allow so macOS does not ask again on the next import.
  • This is about connecting a whole service, not a website login. To connect accounts like GitHub or Stripe, use Integrations instead. See How do I connect GitHub, Stripe, and other tools?.
