Re:Claude Code's "Don't Ask Again" exposes passwords in 1,12... by ohyes on Sunday November 08, 2026 @03:26AM (#50411406)
This doesn’t seem like the right way to use secrets with an AI agent, in general.

I always have it write a script and then write the secret to a different file myself, then instruct the agent to use the secret file in the script. That way the secret never goes through an external entity.

I had thought this was common sense but now I’m realizing of course it isn’t, we have people with minimal experience using these tools and they don’t even consider that sending their bank password (or whatever) to a third party (even a relatively trustworthy one) is extremely risky.
