Agent Credentials: Beyond the Password Manager

Your AI agent manages sixty services but can't type a master password. This episode explores why macOS Keychain and 1Password weren't built for headless autonomous agents, and what Google's Agent-to-Auth and Microsoft's delegated auth model get right. We break down the broker architecture, the latency tradeoffs, and the hard problem of policy enforcement when the credential consumer is itself an unpredictable AI.
