AgentMail ships AgentID, giving AI agents their own OIDC identity instead of borrowed API keys
garrytan · x · 2026-09-28
- AgentMail launched AgentID: each agent gets its own OpenID Connect identity backed by a verified email and a locally stored signing key. No SDK needed — just two config values to plug into Clerk, Supabase, Auth0, and Better Auth.
- The demo shows an agent signing into Firecrawl and Turso with its own credential instead of a copy of yours, targeting the common "hand the agent your API key and hope" pattern.
- Context: GitGuardian's 2026 report found 29 million leaked secrets last year and flagged AI agent credentials as a spiraling category. Okta also launched a Universal Agent Identity Provider this year, signaling agent identity is becoming the next infrastructure layer.
