You can define an unlimited number of credentials within the Easy Integrations app for global reusability. By centralizing credentials, you streamline management and avoid updating usernames/passwords across multiple post functions.

## Step 1: Open Credential settings

1. On the Manage apps screen, navigate to the `EASY INTEGRATIONS MENU`.
2. Select **Settings (EI)**.
3. From the top bar, click **Credentials**.

## Step 2: Create credential

1. Click **Create new credential**.
2. Select the **Authorization type**. There are four types:
  1. **Basic: **Requires a username and password for authentication.
  2. **Bearer: **Uses a token for authentication.
  3. **Oauth:** Implements the OAuth protocol for delegated access.
  4. **Oauth2:** Implements the OAuth 2.0 protocol for enhanced security and flexibility.
3. Provide a descriptive name for the credential.
4. Enter the required details based on the chosen type (e.g., username, password, token, OAuth configuration).
5. Save the credential.
