# Obtain tokens for data access

{% hint style="info" %}
Tokens are only necessary for working remotely with data in Nuvolos. Nuvolos applications are automatically set up to connect to data stored in Nuvolos.
{% endhint %}

The credentials to access data are not regular Nuvolos credentials. To obtain the required credentials to access data, please navigate to the [table view](/features/database-integration/view-tables.md), and click the **CONNECTION GUIDE** button.

The connection guide provides the information required to connect to Nuvolos from non-Nuvolos applications:

1. Username is the username for connecting to the Nuvolos database backend.
2. Password is the password for this connection. It is not your standard Nuvolos credential, but a separate string generated specifically for database access.
3. A convenience command is also provided, containing the necessary connection details to access the Nuvolos database backend.
