# Browser login + X/Twitter posting
## Manual login (recommended)
When a site requires login, **sign in manually** in the **host** browser profile (the clawd browser).
Do **not** give the model your credentials. Automated logins often trigger antibot defenses and can lock the account.
## X/Twitter: recommended flow
- **Read/search/threads:** use the **bird** CLI skill (no browser, stable).
- Repo: https://github.com/steipete/bird
- **Post updates:** use the **host** browser (manual login).
## Sandboxing + host browser access
Sandboxed browser sessions are **more likely** to trigger bot detection. For X/Twitter (and other strict sites), prefer the **host** browser.
If the agent is sandboxed, the browser tool defaults to the sandbox. To allow host control:
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
sandbox: {
mode: "non-main",
browser: {
allowHostControl: true
}
}
}
}
}
```
Then target the host browser:
```bash
clawdbot browser open https://x.com --browser-profile clawd --target host
```
Or disable sandboxing for the agent that posts updates.

## Security & privacy
- The clawd browser profile may contain logged-in sessions; treat it as sensitive.
- For logins and anti-bot notes (X/Twitter, etc.), see [Browser login + X/Twitter posting](/tools/browser-login).
- Keep control URLs loopback-only unless you intentionally expose the server.
- Remote CDP endpoints are powerful; tunnel and protect them.
