API keys pose significant security risks when used with AI agents, including exposure through code repositories, over-privileged access, and unique vulnerabilities like prompt injection attacks. These risks are amplified by AI agents' ability to execute actions at machine speed and their susceptibility to malicious prompts that can leak credentials. Auth0's Token Vault offers a secure alternative by managing tokens on behalf of users, providing proper audit trails, and implementing OAuth 2.0-based authentication that maintains user context while preventing credential exposure.
