# A password for one address

Let somebody sign in as one address, such as someone covering support@, with a password you set, and reach nothing else.

## Details

- Open an address under Settings → Addresses, go to its Access tab and choose Set a password under Password sign-in. Generate makes a strong one, shown once, so copy it before you save. Setting it asks for your verification code.
- Whoever has it signs in at the usual sign-in page with the address and the password, and reaches that one address: they read and send its mail and work with its drafts, files, labels, contacts and calendar. They cannot connect apps or the MCP server, reset the password by email, create workspaces or delete the account, and a workspace that requires two-factor requires it of them too.
- Changing the password signs them out everywhere and clears their two-factor, and Remove password ends the sign-in at once. While the address is switched off, the sign-in opens nothing.
- Setting one takes permission to manage the team and to reach that address, and a plan with team members, since Free has none. The address has to be switched on, on a verified domain, and must not already be the email of another OpenEmail account: invite that account from Team instead.
- The same is on the REST API as GET, PUT and DELETE /domains/{id}/addresses/{addressId}/login, on the SDK as domains.setAddressLogin and its siblings, and on the command line. The MCP server can read and remove one, but never sets a password.
