Grok Bot can now remember your logins, cards, and address. Here's how to set up the Vault without oversharing

What's trending: On Friday afternoon the official Grok Bot account on X posted: "Grok Bot can now save your logins, cards, and contact information. Add them once, and Bot securely remembers them for the future." It was the biggest new Grok Bot story of the last two days, and the replies are packed with people asking their Bot to set it up. The official changelog lists it in version 0.75.5 (dated Oct 23): "Bots can save your logins, cards, and contact info to a Vault in Settings and fill them in to sign in or check out." It needs Grok Bot 0.75.2 or later. Until now, every time your Bot hit a sign-in page or a checkout, it had to stop and ask you. The Vault is like leaving a spare key with a trusted neighbor so you don't have to drive home every time the plumber shows up.

How it works: The help page "Store secrets securely" lays it out. Go to Settings > Vault and you can save three kinds of things: logins (a website, a username or email, and a password), cards (number, expiry, security code, name, billing address), and contact info (names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails for shipping and billing). The key line: "Your Bot never sees a saved password, card number, or security code." It can see your contact info and which logins you saved, so it picks the right one and types in the details. For cards, the page says your Bot "asks before it uses one." If you already connected 1Password, the Bot tries a Vault login first, then 1Password, and only then asks you with a secure form.

The play: use it for the boring sign-ins and checkouts you already hand off. A few everyday ones: "Sign in to my electric company, download last month's bill, and save it as a PDF." "Reorder the same dog food from last month and ship it home." "Log in to the library site and renew my books." Each one used to stall at a password box. With a saved login, the Bot just keeps going. If you run a side hustle, a card with a hint like "Use for work purchases" keeps business buys off your personal card, and the Bot follows that hint when it picks between cards.

How to run it: First, update the Grok Bot app. Then open Settings > Vault, choose New item, and pick Login, Card, or Contact info. For a card you can scan it with your camera, upload a photo, or type it in. Add a short hint so the Bot knows when to use each entry. You can also save from a chat: when your Bot asks you to sign in with a secure form, tick "Securely save to Bot's vault" and it remembers that login next time. Leave the box unchecked and the login is used just for that chat and then expires. Start with one low-stakes login, give it a small task, and watch it work before you add your main card.

Watch out for: a few honest catches. Your Bot can see your contact info, and when you give it a name, address, or phone number in chat, the help page says it saves it as contact info after the task and tells you what it kept, so say so if you don't want something saved. Passwords, card numbers, and logins can only be changed or removed in Settings > Vault, not by asking the Bot. On the phone you can't edit a saved card yet; you remove it and add it again. Vault doesn't work on Team Bots, which use Secrets instead. And skip your bank and email passwords for now: the fewer master keys on the hook, the less a mistake can cost. A candid note from us: Desk Signal is made with help from bots, and we're starting with one utility login, not our credit card.
