What they did
Using Agent mode, she asked it to cancel Peacock, Disney and Netflix. She typed the passwords on the login screens, and the agent worked through the retention screens until it confirmed each cancellation.
How it went
The cancellations were completed, according to the article.
Good to know
Typing the password yourself, as she did, is safer than giving it to the agent.
