Store account credentials for your agent
@JJEnglert describes giving Muse a SoundCloud login through the Secure Store in settings, after which the agent reviewed the account history and built a playlist. The same steps work for any account credentials, by their account, but nothing is said about how the Secure Store is protected, so decide what you are comfortable saving there.
What you can get
What it is
Stored credential with a scoped task completed
A specific account's login stored in the agent's Secure Store, used for the task you asked for, like building or updating a playlist.
It came back right when
- The credential entered matches the specific account intended.
- The account was used only for the task you specified.
- Stored credentials are reviewed and removed when no longer needed.
The checks are editorial, not from the source.
- Open the Secure Store
Via settings, before entering any credential.
- Enter the specific login
One account at a time, with a clear reason.
- Assign the taskStops for your approval
Tell the agent exactly what to use the account for.
- Review and remove when doneStops for your approval
Delete the credential if access is no longer needed.
Editorial, not from the source
Works when
- You have a specific account you want the agent to act on, like a music streaming service.
- You're comfortable with the account's sensitivity level given the Secure Store's security isn't independently verified.
- You want a clear task tied to the access, not open-ended account use.
Does not work when
- The account is high-stakes, like primary email, banking, or an account tied to your identity in a serious way; that may need more caution than a general secure store.
- You want broad, unscoped access rather than a credential tied to a specific task.
- You're not willing to review and remove stored credentials you no longer need.
Store account credentials for your agent: review template
| Item | What it is based on | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [Stored credential] | [Specific account you chose] | [Entered] |
| [Assigned task] | [Your instruction] | [Completed] |
| [Access review] | [Periodic check] | [Kept or removed] |
The source case
On X, @JJEnglert describes giving a Muse agent access to a SoundCloud account by entering the login into the app's Secure Store, after which the agent reviewed the account's history and built a playlist. The post lays out the steps as: go to settings, go to Secure Store, enter the credentials, then tell the agent what to do with that account, and gives a SoundCloud example specifically while noting the same steps work for any credentials. It does not describe what access controls or encryption protect the Secure Store itself. This is one attributed report, checked on 2026-10-09, of one account connected this way. @jonstephens85 says he gave his Google login to his Muse agent so it can log in for him, and that Muse can monitor his MacBook messages to handle 2FA, but the post does not show a specific task it completed with that login, whether the Secure Store was used, or how the credential is protected.

Source excerpt
Here's how to do it securely yourself: 1) Go to settings 2) Go to Secure Store 3) Enter your Soundcloud credentials (really any credentials you want to save) 4) Then tell your agent to create a playlist you'd like.
Source excerpt
I gave my Google login info to my Muse agent so it can log in for me. Muse can also monitor my MacBook messages so it can handle the 2FA for me.

What you need
Editorial, not from the source
You supply
- The login for the specific account
- What you want done with that account
Connected
- The Secure Store feature in settings
Approved by you
- Your direction for what the stored credential is used for; no open-ended use beyond that
How to try it
Editorial, not from the source
- Open your agent's settings and go to the Secure Store.
- Enter the credentials for the specific account you want it to access, rather than adding accounts you don't have an immediate use for.
- Tell the agent what to actually do with that account, such as building or updating a playlist, so the access has a clear purpose.
- Review what it did with the account, and remove the stored credential if you no longer want it to have access.
Start with the account, not a general setup
This works best when there's a specific account and a specific thing you want done with it, rather than connecting accounts in general just because the option exists somewhere in the settings. The attributed report behind this page describes exactly that kind of specific setup: a SoundCloud login entered into the Secure Store so the agent could review the account's listening history and build a playlist based on it. Before entering any credential at all, be clear with yourself about what you actually want it used for, since that stated purpose is what should scope the access going forward, not just convenience for some undefined future task you haven't even thought through yet.
Follow the steps, and give it a job once it's in
The source report lays out the process quite plainly: go to settings, go to Secure Store, enter the credentials, then tell the agent exactly what to do with the account once it's connected and ready to use. That last step matters just as much as the credential itself; entering a login without a clear, specific task leaves the access open-ended rather than scoped to something you've actually defined in advance. The post notes the same basic steps work for "any credentials you want to save," not just SoundCloud specifically, but a generic process description like that doesn't mean every single account is equally appropriate to store this way without further thought.
Weigh the account before you weigh the convenience
A music-streaming login and a primary email or banking login aren't remotely the same kind of risk if a stored credential were ever exposed to someone else. The source report doesn't describe what actually protects the Secure Store itself, no real detail on encryption or access controls, which means this directory can't independently vouch for its security one way or the other. For lower-stakes accounts, the convenience of not re-entering a login each time may genuinely be worth it; for anything tied closely to your identity or finances, slow down and consider carefully whether that account belongs in a general secure store at all, or is better handled through a channel you've reviewed more carefully yourself.

Limits and confirmation points
Limits to confirm
- One attributed report, describing a SoundCloud login stored and used to build a playlist, with no description of the Secure Store's own encryption or access controls.
- This directory has not verified any specific security claim about how the Secure Store protects what's entered into it.
- Storing a login for an agent to use means that account's access is only as safe as the store it's kept in; weigh that against the account's sensitivity before adding it.
- The source post describes this working for "any credentials you want to save," but doesn't address higher-stakes accounts like email, banking or primary logins, which may warrant more caution than a music-streaming account.
Stop and check
Editorial, not from the source
- Before entering a credential: confirm the account is one you're comfortable granting this kind of access to.
- When giving a task: be specific about what the account should be used for.
- Periodically: review stored credentials and remove ones no longer needed.
If it goes wrong
Editorial, not from the source
- You're unsure how secure the Secure Store actually is
- Treat that uncertainty as a reason to store lower-stakes accounts there and keep higher-stakes ones elsewhere, until you have a clearer answer.
- The agent uses a stored credential for something beyond the task you asked for
- Stop and tighten the instruction; a credential should be scoped to the specific task you gave it.
- You want to remove access later
- Go back into the Secure Store and delete the credential; don't assume access expires on its own.
Common questions
How do I store an account login for Muse to use?
One attributed report describes the process as: go to settings, go to Secure Store, enter the credentials, then tell the agent what task to use that account for.
Does this work for any account, not just SoundCloud?
The source post describes the SoundCloud example specifically but says the same steps work for any credentials you want to save.
How secure is the Secure Store itself?
The source report doesn't describe its encryption or access controls. This directory has not independently verified its security.
Should I store my email or banking login this way?
Be more cautious with high-stakes accounts. The attributed report covers a lower-stakes example; weigh your own account's sensitivity before storing it.
Can I remove a stored credential later?
Yes, go back into the Secure Store and delete it. Don't assume stored access expires on its own.
