# 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 anti‑bot 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.
