SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams securely configure and harden Better Auth deployments to prevent brute-force attacks, protect credentials, and improve overall authentication security.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secret management: Enforce strong secret handling and rotation in production.
  • Rate limiting & request protection: Apply per-endpoint limits and multi-layer CSRF protections.
  • Session & cookie hardening: Secure session lifetimes, cookies, and origin trust for safe user sessions.
  • OAuth token encryption & auditing: Encrypt tokens and log security events for compliance.
  • IP addressing & auditing: Track trusted client IPs and maintain audit trails across environments.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to configure a secure Better Auth deployment by implementing secret management, rate limiting, CSRF protection, trusted origins, and session security in production.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure rate limiting and CSRF protection in Better Auth?

Configuring rate limiting and CSRF protection in Better Auth involves applying per-endpoint request limits and multi-layer request validations. This hardens authentication endpoints against brute-force attacks and credential stuffing.

What is the best way to secure Better Auth sessions and cookies in production?

Securing Better Auth sessions and cookies requires enforcing secure session lifetimes, trusted origins, and hardened cookie attributes. This ensures safe user sessions and reduces session hijacking attack surfaces.

How does Better Auth handle OAuth token encryption and security auditing?

Better Auth handles OAuth token encryption by encrypting tokens at rest and logging security events for compliance. This protects credentials and maintains audit trails across environments.

Do I need to validate secrets and manage rotation for Better Auth deployments?

Yes, validating secrets and managing rotation for Better Auth deployments enforces strong secret handling in production. This satisfies production-grade defaults and prevents unauthorized access.

Can I track trusted client IPs and maintain audit trails with Better Auth?

You can track trusted client IPs and maintain audit trails with Better Auth by configuring IP handling and security auditing across endpoints. This provides robust guardrails and compliance logging.

What are the limitations when hardening Better Auth for pluggable storage?

When hardening Better Auth for pluggable storage, limitations depend on your storage backend's support for safe defaults and security auditing. Ensure your chosen storage can handle per-endpoint controls and encrypted tokens.
