Agent Authenticator FAQs

Question 1

Does Agent Authenticator provide audit capabilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Agent Authenticator includes configurable audit logs for security-sensitive actions, allowing you to track and monitor vault mutations and code generation activities.

Question 2

What is Agent Authenticator?

Accepted Answer

Agent Authenticator is a self-hostable server that provides AI agents with secure, on-demand Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) from an encrypted local vault, without ever exposing the underlying sensitive secrets.

Question 3

What types of AI agents or tools can use Agent Authenticator?

Accepted Answer

It is built for any AI agent or tool (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) that needs to complete authenticated workflows requiring 2FA codes, integrating via its narrow MCP (Multi-Modal Compute Protocol) interface.

Question 4

Is Agent Authenticator self-hostable and secure by default?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's designed for self-hosting with conservative default settings, including local-first operation, loopback-only HTTP transport, and explicit opt-in for remote HTTP binding, ensuring a secure out-of-the-box experience.

Question 5

How does it improve security for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

It enhances security by preventing AI agents from directly accessing or persisting raw TOTP seeds. Secrets are stored encrypted, and only current, one-time codes are generated and provided when needed, minimizing exposure risk during authenticated workflows.
