To secure Better Auth in production, apply configurable defaults for rate limiting, CSRF protection, trusted origins, and session cookies. This enforces robust authentication security by validating configurations and providing integration guidance for safer deployment guardrails.

Rate limiting protects authentication endpoints by restricting the number of allowed requests from a single source over a given timeframe. When combined with IP tracking, it monitors and blocks repeated failed login attempts to effectively prevent brute-force attacks.

Trusted origins configuration validates the source domains allowed to interact with your application. You need it for OAuth flows to perform origin validation, which reduces the risk of unauthorized access and secures federated authentication processes.

Yes, you can use this to set up audit logging and secret management for Better Auth. It guides best practices to protect credentials, improve traceability of authentication events, and ensure sensitive tokens are handled securely across your application.

The best way to secure session cookies and encrypt OAuth tokens is to apply strong validation and secure default configurations. This hardens federated flows by ensuring session data is protected and OAuth tokens are encrypted during storage and transit.

Yes, this Skill provides integration guidance for applying CSRF protection. It helps you configure trusted origins and enforce secure session defaults, ensuring your application is safeguarded against cross-site request forgery in production environments.
