  1. Kernel Managed Auth: secure authentication for AI agents

    Kernel's Managed Auth gives AI agents a secure way to handle login flows — 2FA, SSO, 1Password integration — without ever exposing credentials to the LLM. Solves one of the least-discussed blockers for autonomous web agents.

  2. Descope: identity platform for humans and AI agents

    Descope is an External IAM platform that handles identity for both human users and AI agents — the same system covers user auth, business customer identity, MCP server auth, and agentic workflows. Identity as the control plane for human+agent systems.

  3. OpenAuth

    OpenAuth is a universal, standards-based auth provider from the SST team — framework-agnostic, runs on any JS runtime, and follows OAuth 2.0 spec rather than inventing custom auth patterns. An alternative to Auth.js, Clerk, and hosted auth services for teams who want standards compliance without vendor lock-in.

  4. Django Sessions

    An article on Django sessions — how the session framework works, the available backends (database, cache, file, cookie), and how session data flows through requests. Django's session system is the foundation for authentication and stateful web behavior.

  5. Stytch: Passwordless Authentication Infrastructure

    Stytch is a developer-focused authentication platform specializing in passwordless methods — magic links, one-time passcodes, biometrics, and OAuth. Competes with Auth0 and Clerk by betting on passwords being a security and UX problem worth eliminating.
