AAuth: Moving Beyond OAuth and the Future of Agent Auth

from Insecure Agents · host Allie Howe

In this episode we sit down with Dick Hardt, the creator of OAuth, to talk about why the auth primitives we built for the web fall apart the moment agents start acting on our behalf. We dive in to why OAuth doesn't fit MCP, what breaks when an agent runs for hours and touches a dozen systems using your credentials, and his new protocol, AAuth: a way for developers to run agents without API keys.
