Learn how a secure-by-design approach helps you build AI Agents that interact safely with applications, APIs, and services on a user’s behalf.

Auth0's platform is a  identity management solution, offering insights into authentication, authorization, and user management for web and mobile applications. Through articles, tutorials, and documentation, Auth0 offers insights into securing applications with modern identity protocols like OAuth and OpenID Connect. Developers can learn about implementing single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and user authorization policies to enhance application security and user experience.

AI agents need secure access to third-party services like Google Calendar or GitHub on behalf of users. A naive approach that passes user IDs directly creates security vulnerabilities including broken access control and confused deputy attacks. Auth0's Token Vault implements a secure-by-design model where credentials are cryptographically verified through existing user sessions rather than simple string identifiers, eliminating the risk of agents accessing arbitrary user data. This approach enforces zero-trust principles and least-privilege access by default, protecting against privilege escalation and credential leaks across various agent architectures.
