Today WorkOS is launching auth.md

An open protocol for agents to register for services on the web.

We're partnering with @Cloudflare and @Firecrawl as some of the first providers.

Why did we build this? And why now? 🧵Image For 20 years, signup flows were built for humans:
• Buttons
• Forms
• Email verification
• OAuth consent screens
• CAPTCHAs
• Admin dashboards

These assume a human is sitting in front of a browser clicking around.

Agents break that assumption. Image
