SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps security-conscious teams harden Better Auth deployments by guiding best-practice configuration for secrets, rate limiting, CSRF protection, trusted origins, session and cookie security, OAuth token encryption, and audit logging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces strong secret management and alerts on weak secrets.
  • Provides configurable rate limiting with per-endpoint rules to prevent brute-force attacks.
  • Enables CSRF protection, trusted origins, and secure cookie handling to reduce common web app risks.
  • Supports encrypted OAuth tokens and IP-based security measures, plus hooks for auditing events.
  • Useful for teams deploying or auditing Better Auth in multi-service or multi-tenant environments.

Quick Start

Configure your Better Auth deployment by enabling rate limiting, securing sessions and cookies, enabling CSRF protection, and defining trusted origins as described.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure rate limiting in Better Auth to prevent brute-force attacks?

Configure rate limiting in Better Auth by setting per-endpoint rules to throttle login attempts and prevent brute-force attacks. This approach restricts excessive authentication requests and secures token management endpoints across multi-service deployments.

What's the best way to secure Better Auth session cookies and manage trusted origins?

Secure Better Auth sessions by enabling CSRF protection, defining trusted origins, and applying secure cookie handling. These configurations reduce web app risks by ensuring only authorized domains interact with your authentication endpoints.

Does Better Auth support encrypted OAuth tokens and audit logging?

Better Auth supports encrypted OAuth tokens and audit logging through database hooks. You can encrypt tokens for secure storage and configure hooks to audit authentication events, tracking IP-based security measures across multi-tenant environments.

How do I validate Better Auth secrets for strong secret management?

Validate Better Auth secrets by enforcing strong secret management configurations that alert on weak secrets. This ensures your deployment uses cryptographically secure keys, satisfying functional requirements for secret validation across auth workloads.

Can I use Better Auth security configurations for multi-tenant environments?

Better Auth security configurations support multi-tenant environments through trusted origins, per-endpoint rate limiting, and IP-based security measures. These features allow teams to deploy and audit authentication securely across multiple services or client deployments.
