On October 22, 2026, Vercel declared static credentials dead after surveying more than 1,000 SaaS vendors and finding only 8.4% support OIDC authentication. Two Marketplace deadlines are now set, yet Vercel’s official GitHub Actions deployment guide still requires a long-lived token.
On October 14, 2026, AWS made S3 — including S3 Tables and S3 Vectors — provisionable from the Vercel dashboard and v0, using an OIDC token exchange that removes static access keys from the path. For front-end teams that consume object storage without ever opening the AWS console, the days of an IAM key pasted into an .env file are over.
