Authentication

Auth-Agent in simple words is "Sign in with Google" but for Web Agents and Computer using Agents.

I created Autosign earlier, which combined AgentMail and BrowserUse to let agents pass 2FA. It worked for a while but I still faced problems like hCaptcha and other blockers. That made it clear to me that AI agents need an efficient way to sign in that is not a turnaround or bypass solution built on top of human login systems.

Auth-Agent is the result of that. It is the world’s first OpenID Connect provider for AI agents. It is entirely open source https://github.com/auth-agent/auth-agent.

The author introduces Auth-Agent, an open-source OpenID Connect provider for AI agents, addressing the need for efficient authentication in AI systems. The post highlights the limitations of previous workarounds and the potential of Auth-Agent.
