An essay warns that developers routinely hand AI agents shared passwords or keys to log into dashboards, cloud consoles, banks and SaaS tools, leaving credentials in prompts, scripts and .env files. It reviews per-agent identity approaches from vendors including 1Password and IDENTOS, draws on Axios reporting about bank responses, and lays out an order for teams to switch from shared credentials to per-agent identities.
