Creating Seamless and Secure Authentication Experiences: From Consumers to AI Agents
AI is transforming modern applications—from seamless consumer experiences to autonomous agents acting on behalf of users. This shift introduces new identity challenges: delivering secure authentication for users while maintaining control and trust when AI systems operate independently.
In this hands-on lab, we start by building modern consumer authentication experiences using the WSO2 Identity Platform. Participants will implement passwordless login, MFA, and adaptive authentication to create secure, seamless, and branded user journeys.
We then extend these concepts to AI-driven systems. Using the Asgardeo MCP server, participants will explore how AI tooling can accelerate the design and integration of authentication flows. The session will also dive into how AI agents securely interact with systems using delegated access, scoped permissions, and auditability — a fundamentally different identity challenge from traditional user authentication.
By the end of the lab, attendees will have built authentication flows that support both human users and AI-driven interactions, balancing security, usability, and control.
This lab covers:
- Building secure consumer authentication with passwordless login, MFA, and adaptive policies
- Designing seamless and branded login experiences using WSO2
- Accelerating auth flow development with AI tooling and the Asgardeo MCP server
- Securing AI agent access through delegated identity, scoped permissions, and auditability
- Understanding the emerging identity challenges in agentic AI systems
This session is designed for developers and architects with foundational identity knowledge who want hands-on experience bridging consumer authentication and AI-driven identity patterns.
