How American Express handles the sign-in
American Express says apps that use its data-sharing connection send you to a secure American Express window to sign in, and the app doesn't need to store your Amex user ID and password.

American Express says you can stop sharing your Amex information at any time through its website, where available, or by revoking consent with the app you connected. It says you can manage access to your data from both sides.
Amex's public pages don't name the screen inside your online account where this lives.
