OAuth
A standard sign-in flow where you approve an app on the provider's own login page, and the app gets a limited token instead of your password.
Why it matters for AI trading tools
Remote MCP servers such as Coinbase for Agents use OAuth sign-in. Only enter credentials on the provider's real page.
