Browser Identity & Auth
Browser identity and authentication is the layer that lets an AI agent show up on the web as a credible, persistent actor rather than a disposable bot. It covers everything from durable digital identities (with their own email and phone numbers) to credential vaults that securely inject passwords into login flows, multi-factor and passkey handling, OAuth and SSO patterns adapted for autonomous agents, CAPTCHA workflows, prompt-injection defenses inside authenticated sessions, and the privacy primitives — PII isolation, zero data retention, browser sandboxing — that make agentic auth safe to deploy. This is the most underdocumented area of the AI-agent stack right now: most public material treats login as a plumbing problem, but identity is what turns a scraper into an autonomous worker. The terms in this category give developers and security teams a shared language for the patterns that are emerging.
