What they did

A user points out that because Grok Bot can have its own email inbox, he no longer has to sign in to his real email to copy a 2FA code to his cloud agent. Grok Bot can create new accounts on websites for him using its own address. He also runs a separate email bot with routines.

How it went

He calls it clever and says his agent can now make accounts on any website without touching his personal inbox.

Worth knowing

  • Self-reported X post; an opinion and setup tip rather than a single outcome. Accounts tied to the bot's inbox are only as safe as the bot account itself.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Use your own email inbox, not mine, to create an account on [website] for [purpose]. Read the verification or 2FA code from your inbox yourself, and tell me the account details when it's set up.

Recommended

Ask your bot for a security review of an email that passed every check

An email from [email protected] landed in a Tesla engineer's inbox. It passed SPF, DKIM and DMARC (the checks that confirm who sent an email) and showed the blue check, but something felt off, so he asked his Grok Bot to do a security review. It found a hidden phishing link, explained why every safety check had passed, and wrote a report to xAI with a proposed fix. He then had it add a security routine that checks his email for anything phishy going forward.
