canifi-env set AUTOTRADER_EMAIL "your_email"

canifi-env set AUTOTRADER_PASSWORD "your_password"

Your credentials, your choice. Canifi LifeOS respects your privacy.

Option 1: Manual Browser Login (Recommended)

If you prefer not to share credentials with Claude Code:

1. Complete the [Browser Automation Setup](/setup/automation) using CDP mode
2. Login to the service manually in the Playwright-controlled Chrome window
3. Claude will use your authenticated session without ever seeing your password

Option 2: Environment Variables

If you're comfortable sharing credentials, you can store them locally:

```bash

canifi-env set SERVICE_EMAIL "your-email"

canifi-env set SERVICE_PASSWORD "your-password"

```

Note: Credentials stored in canifi-env are only accessible locally on your machine and are never transmitted.
