2. Open a **private browser window** and log in to Matrix using the SSO.
3. Set up **recovery keys** for the account.
4. Obtain the **access token** for the bot account:
   1. Navigate to **All Settings** in the Matrix client.
   2. Go to **Help & About**.
   3. Select **Access Token** and copy it.
5. **DO NOT LOG OUT**: Keep the session active.
6. Close the browser to maintain the session state.
7. Use the obtained access token to configure the bot.

Important Note: For SSO accounts, removing the local password option is required to allow recovery keys to be set up. Ensure this is configured correctly before proceeding.
