SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Secure Better Auth deployments by consolidating best-practice controls: rate limiting, secret management, CSRF protection, trusted origins, secure sessions, OAuth token encryption, IP tracking, and auditing to prevent brute-force and credential abuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rate limiting with per-endpoint rules to deter brute-force attempts on authentication flows.
  • Secret management with strong validation and guidance for rotation to protect credentials.
  • Multi-layer CSRF protection and trusted origins configuration to guard web traffic.
  • Session and cookie security with configurable expiration and cookie attributes to safeguard user sessions.
  • Audit logging and database hooks to track security events and changes.
  • IP address tracking and support for background tasks to enable scalable deployments.

Quick Start

Install Better Auth with a strong secret, enable rate limiting, CSRF protection, and trusted origins to secure your deployment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent brute-force attacks on my Better Auth deployment?

You can prevent brute-force attacks in Better Auth by configuring per-endpoint rate limiting rules. This safeguards authentication flows by deterring repetitive credential abuse across web apps and APIs.

What is the best way to configure CSRF protection and trusted origins for Better Auth?

The best way to configure CSRF protection in Better Auth is by applying multi-layer trusted origins configuration. This guards web traffic and ensures only approved domains can interact with your authentication endpoints.

Does Better Auth support secure session management and OAuth token encryption?

Yes, Better Auth supports secure session management through configurable cookie expiration and secure cookie attributes. It also enables OAuth token encryption to protect credentials in production environments.

How do I track security events and IP addresses with Better Auth?

You can track security events and IP addresses in Better Auth by implementing audit logging and database hooks. This enables tracking security changes and supports background tasks for scalable deployments.

Can I use Better Auth security controls in serverless and multi-origin setups?

Yes, you can apply Better Auth security controls across serverless setups and multi-origin deployments. The configuration supports secret validation, entropy checks, and IP tracking to secure distributed environments.

Why do I need secret validation and rotation guidance for Better Auth?

Secret validation and rotation guidance are needed for Better Auth to protect credentials and ensure strong entropy checks. Proper secret management prevents unauthorized access and secures production authentication systems.
