Glean now lets agents run under their own governed accounts. 1Password and Browserbase hand agents sign-ins without showing them the credentials, Vercel is replacing static keys with short-lived ones, and Cloudflare is working with card networks to authenticate shopping agents. Banks meanwhile say they can't tell whether an agent was sent by the customer or went rogue. Builders should give each agent a verifiable identity of its own instead of reusing a person's login.
