Credentials are stored in your database and are never sent to the block editor; the editor only receives account names.

The Instagram tab warns when your database does not use `utf8mb4`: captions with emoji cannot be stored then. Ask your host to convert the database (see [Social feeds troubleshooting](https://staging.visualportfolio.com/docs/social-feeds/social-feeds-troubleshooting/)).
