Existing deployments may still lack authentication.\n\n**Egoist AI Passport.** Owner approval separates sign-in from access to memory. A human must approve access to personal data.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### AI Memory\n\n1. Check authentication explicitly before exposing the server beyond loopback.\n2. Exclude secrets and sensitive repositories from memory capture.\n3. Back up memory and follow the version 3 migration guide.\n\n### Egoist AI Passport\n\n1. Call passport_status before recall and inspect the returned passes.\n2. Show approval links to the owner; never approve a pass on their behalf.\n3. Treat unavailable memory as unknown, not empty.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AI Memory or Egoist AI Passport?\n\nEgoist AI Passport scores 58.4 (C) on agent readiness against AI Memory's 55.7 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. AI Memory leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do AI Memory and Egoist AI Passport need an API key?\n\nAI Memory takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Egoist AI Passport uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call AI Memory and Egoist AI Passport without installing anything?\n\nAI Memory runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Egoist AI Passport has a hosted endpoint at https://passport.ego.ist/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ai-memory-vs-egoist-ai-passport.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ai-memory-vs-egoist-ai-passport.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"ai-memory\", \"b\": \"egoist-ai-passport\"}`.
