Help me build a private credential-entry step for [Hermes messaging integration]. Keep passwords and verification codes out of model context and chat text. Use a temporary one-use form accessible through [private network], integrate with the supported vault and browser-fill flow, and distinguish live-tested paths from automated test coverage.

- Reported result
- IntrepidInteraction1 reports a working plugin built with Hermes and used live through iMessage/Photon and Discord. Telegram has automated integration coverage but still requires live testing. The preview needs Tailscale setup and has website-specific browser-detection limitations.
- Human involvement
- The author built and live-tested the integrations; users still enter their passwords or codes through the private form. Tailscale and initial setup are required. The source does not give a complete security audit or describe every coding step Hermes performed.

How the agent did it
- The author built a credential-entry plugin with Hermes for messaging-based browser workflows.
- The plugin creates a temporary one-use link to a private form accessible over Tailscale.
- The user enters credentials outside the chat, and the plugin uses the vault or native browser-fill flow.
Reddit user IntrepidInteraction1 wanted to handle password and verification-code prompts while using Hermes through messaging apps, without SSH access to the host machine. They report building a plugin with Hermes and successfully using it through both iMessage via Photon and Discord.
The plugin supplies a temporary, single-use link to a private form over Tailscale. According to the author, new login details go into Hermes's encrypted vault, and verification codes pass through the native browser-fill flow. Passwords and codes do not enter the conversation or model context, although the temporary link itself appears in chat. These are the builder's architecture and test claims, not the result of an independent security review.
The post distinguishes tested paths from unfinished ones. Telegram has automated integration coverage but still needs live testing. The preview requires Tailscale access and initial setup, and the author tested it against Hermes 0.22.1. Two browser fixes address particular wrong-tab and verification-field failures, rather than being required for every supported website.
Who it's for: Hermes users building phone-accessible browser workflows who need a separate credential-entry step. The concrete result is a working plugin with two reported live messaging integrations. The source does not establish universal website compatibility or prove that every credential-handling path is secure.

Hermes helped the author build the plugin. In the reported working workflow, the plugin passes credential entry through a private form and into Hermes's vault or native browser-fill flow rather than through model conversation text.
