FAQPage Schema
How do I secure Better Auth deployments against brute-force and credential stuffing?

Secure Better Auth deployments by enforcing rate limiting with per-endpoint overrides, strict secret management, and CSRF protection. These practices collectively prevent brute-force attacks and reduce credential stuffing risk across production authentication endpoints.

What's the best way to configure rate limiting and CSRF protection for Better Auth?

Configure rate limiting and CSRF protection in Better Auth by applying settings across production endpoints with per-endpoint overrides and trusted origins. This approach hardens your authentication surface against common threats while maintaining operational flexibility.

Does Better Auth support encrypted OAuth tokens and IP address tracking?

Yes, Better Auth supports encrypted OAuth tokens and IP address tracking to improve operational security. You can enable these features alongside secure session and cookie handling to ensure comprehensive authentication monitoring and compliance.

How do I handle environment-based secret sourcing for Better Auth authentication?

Handle environment-based secret sourcing in Better Auth by configuring strong secrets sourced from your environment variables. This approach ensures secrets are never hardcoded and satisfies requirements for advanced security configurations in production deployments.

Can I apply Better Auth security configurations to a multi-tenant SaaS API?

Yes, you can apply Better Auth security configurations to a multi-tenant SaaS API. Implementing rate limiting, trusted origins, and audit logging reduces credential stuffing risk and ensures compliance across multiple tenants sharing the same authentication infrastructure.

Why do I need audit logging and secure cookie handling in my authentication setup?

Audit logging and secure cookie handling are needed to track IP addresses and protect session integrity in your authentication setup. These features satisfy advanced security configuration requirements and improve operational visibility for compliance purposes.
