Many third-party applications require your login and your secret key to allow the share of information between your Qonto account and external tools like accounting softwares.
You can therefore offer read-only access to this software to automate the transfer of information.
You can also initiate actions on your account through API, but no worries, strong authentication protects these sensitive actions. 🔐
Keep in mind that your login and your secret key are not the same as your email and password.
