Temporary Cloudflare accounts for AI agents

Cloudflare launched temporary accounts to allow AI agents to bypass human-centric authentication flows.

Cloudflare's new temporary accounts enable AI agents to programmatically deploy services without navigating browser-based OAuth, manual dashboard configuration, or multi-factor authentication. This feature is designed to remove friction for background agents that require automated access to cloud infrastructure.
