Securing Your Connections
OpenClaw supports multiple authentication methods for connecting to your workspace tools and AI providers.
API Keys
Ideal for direct developer access. You generate a key on a provider's dashboard (e.g., OpenAI) and paste it into OpenClaw. Simple, but requires careful handling.
OAuth 2.0
Recommended for Slack, GitHub, and Google integrations. OAuth provides a "Login with..." window and allows you to revoke access at any time without rotating secrets.
Security: Always use
openclaw vault to encrypt your secrets if you are sharing
your workspace folder with others.
