You must hand over account passwords
What this clause does
The agency gets the login to your platform account.
Why it hurts you
This is how creators lose their businesses outright. With your credentials an agency can lock you out, change the payout destination, delete content, or hold the account hostage in a dispute. Password theft is a documented pattern, not a hypothetical. Your account is the business.
What a fair version looks like
Use the platform's own delegated-access or team features, which you can revoke instantly. Never share a password or 2FA.
Wording you can send back
Creator shall retain sole ownership and control of all platform accounts. Any access granted to Agency shall be via the platform's delegated access features and revocable by Creator at any time without notice.
Paste this into your reply. Asking for a specific change is far more effective than asking them to "soften" a clause.
