Self Labs launches Agent Vault, a proxy that lets AI agents log in to websites and pay by card without holding the real passwords or card numbers.

Santiago (@svpino) says Codex connects to the vault over MCP and uses placeholder credentials, and that the proxy swaps in the real credentials when Codex attempts a login, so Codex never sees the password.

Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) describes Agent Vault as a hosted browser proxy that works with Claude Code, Codex and Grok Bot. He says the proxy types the real card number or password into the site only at the moment of the fill. The company says that a prompt-injected agent can spend at most within the caps the user sets.

Both reports rely on the Self Labs launch announcement, quoted on X. Neither reports pricing, availability or independent testing.
