OpenBotAuth – Open-Source Web Bot Auth with Social Registry
We're building an open source implementation for Web Bot Auth, which is an IETF draft for signed agent authentication over HTTP, without CDN lock-in. We've built a social registry, using Github login, where you can host your Signature Agent card/JWKS over a dedicated link. This saves you buying a domain and self-hosting your card. Please try it out : https://openbotauth.org/login We've also built a Wordpress plugin, which works in signed and unsigned mode. Unsigned mode gives you a preview and Signed mode gives you all access.

I built an open source computer-use SDK enabling agents to authenticate2025 · github.com · ▲19over this weekend myself and two of my friends took part in a hackathon and built this side-project. we have been diving into computer-use recently and developed an sdk to make it easy to implement for devs like us. one feature we were missing though, was the agent being able to log into services. anthropic understandably blocks this capability with their guardrails, and you wouldn't want your credentials to end up in any model context anyways. so we added a keychain service to the vm that the agent is using. it was built using the pass cli (https://www.passwordstore.org/).…
A self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machineFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲6MachineAuth is a self-hosted OAuth 2.0 server for authenticating AI agents and machines. What is an AI agent in this context? A software bot (like OpenCLAW, Claude Code, etc.) that makes API calls to access protected resources. Instead of sharing long-lived API keys, your agents can authenticate using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials and receive short-lived JWT tokens. Why? No more sharing API keys Short-lived tokens (configurable) Easy credential rotation Industry-standard security
