Signs in with your real logins on a persistent cloud computer.

Watch out for

You choose per app how much access it gets. For email, read-only or allowed to send. AP reported a seller whose Muse, on 'always allow', shared his pickup address with a Marketplace buyer.

Needs cloud data storage and isn’t compatible with Cursor’s Legacy Privacy Mode. Usage beyond the plan is billed by tokens.
