About this session
AI agents are ready to act on users' behalf, but legacy auth flows were built for humans, not agents. This session introduces auth.md, an open protocol that lets agents register and authenticate users without sign-up forms, and shares what early implementers have learned since launch. Learn about the new protocol that Cloudflare, Firecrawl, Cogny, and monday.com are adopting to power agent registration — authenticating agents without sign-up forms.
