Raccoon Passcode

​

What it is?

Raccoon Passcode is a unique identifier that represents an end-user of your application. It securely links that user to their connected accounts on third-party apps (like Google, Amazon, etc.) without your application needing to store their credentials directly.

​

How it’s generated/managed?

Whenever you create a user on the Platform or using the API, a Raccoon Passcode is generated and returned back to you. The recommended method is to use the Tail SDK. The Tail SDK handles the secure linking of user accounts and the generation/management of Raccoon Passcodes. You can also manage them from the Users page.

​

Why it’s needed?

The Raccoon Passcode allows your application to make API requests on behalf of your users. This enables access to their connected accounts without your application ever handling their sensitive login information. Raccoon AI securely manages the sessions and authentication context across the ecosystem.

Security

Raccoon Passcodes are sensitive, but less critical than Secret Keys. They should not be exposed in publicly accessible areas.
