Is yours one of them?** AI agents are goal-directed: when they need a credential to complete a task, they'll go looking for one, including in .env files and password managers. The Bitwarden open source Agent Access SDK tackles this with end-to-end encryption, just-in-time access, and human approval for every credential request.

Is it still the default?**Smart devices are tracking heart rates, watching front doors, and measuring energy use, but most ship with default credentials that are the first thing attackers guess. Three habits cover the bulk of the risk: unique passwords for every device, MFA turned on, and automatic updates enabled. [Here's how to lock down your smart devices](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/strategies-for-keeping-smart-devices-secure/). **Passwords are for humans. Secrets managers are for machines** API keys, SSH keys, database credentials, and encryption certificates all need protecting too, but a regular password manager isn't designed for them. A secrets manager stores them in one encrypted location, controls which machines and people can access what, and lets you rotate a credential in one place without hunting it down across every pipeline.
