There is a big issue around authentication when using agents, specifically those orchestrated by OpenClaw.
OpenClaw took off back in January.
When using OpenClaw to orchestrate agents, a big issue around authentication was understood, related to agents keeping credentials in memory, writing them to local files as plain text, and being susceptible to prompt injections.
Agents, when used with OpenClaw, keep credentials in their memory and write them down to local files and sessions as plain text, which is not ideal.
Agents (orchestrated by OpenClaw) can easily be fooled into giving up API keys/secrets.
