# Username and password

**Element type: Required**

**Enpoints/models used: N/A**

Your integration must include a configuration page or file that allows a user to type in their credentials; then all API calls made through your connector will use these credentials.

Tip

When designing a method for users to authenticate, consider providing a way to mask the password as the user is typing it, along with an option to show the password.
