How it works
1
The agent opens the site
It navigates to the sign-in page in its own browser and stops there.
2
You sign in yourself
The agent sends you a link to watch and control that browser. You enter the password, the code, or whatever the login needs. The credential never passes through the agent or the conversation.
3
It carries on
The session is held in the browser, and the agent continues the task from where it stopped.
When to use it
Reach for this when there is genuinely no programmatic option, or when a login must be yours: an SSO flow, a CAPTCHA, a two-factor code. Prefer OAuth, MCP, or an API key whenever the service offers one, since a held session is more fragile than a token.Browser use
What the agent’s browser can do, and how the shared view works.
