To secure authentication endpoints, implement rate limiting to block brute-force attacks, configure CSRF protection, and verify robust session and cookie handling. Reviewing a dedicated security checklist ensures all production measures are applied.

The best way to manage authentication secrets involves securely configuring and storing them outside your codebase. Proper secret management prevents unauthorized access and protects user data across your authentication system.

Rate limiting protects against brute-force attacks by restricting the number of allowed login attempts from a single source within a specific timeframe. This mechanism prevents automated scripts from guessing user credentials.

Yes, you can securely integrate OAuth social login providers using Better Auth. The implementation requires following specific OAuth security guidelines to ensure safe communication between your application and external providers.

To prevent CSRF attacks on authentication endpoints, implement CSRF protection mechanisms that validate the origin of requests. This blocks malicious sites from submitting unauthorized commands on behalf of authenticated users.

To monitor and audit security events, implement IP tracking and security auditing to log relevant user authentication activities. This allows you to track suspicious behavior and maintain an accurate security record.
