FAQPage Schema
How do I add rate limiting and CSRF protection to Better Auth?

Securing Better Auth deployments requires implementing rate limiting, CSRF protection, secret management, and trusted origins using environment variables. This approach prevents brute force attacks, stops cross-site request forgery, and safely handles authentication secrets across your application.

What is the best way to manage authentication secrets in Better Auth?

The best way to manage authentication secrets in Better Auth is by implementing strict secret management practices using environment variables. This ensures your authentication secrets are safely handled and configured without hardcoding them into your application logic.

Does Better Auth support session and cookie security configurations?

Yes, Better Auth supports session and cookie security configurations. You can secure your deployment by implementing specific session and cookie security settings, alongside OAuth security and IP-based security, to ensure robust authentication protection.

How do I implement IP-based security and audit logging for authentication?

Implementing IP-based security and audit logging for authentication involves configuring your Better Auth setup to track and restrict access based on IP addresses. This creates an audit log of authentication events and enhances overall deployment security.

Do I need the Better Auth library to implement these security best practices?

Yes, you need the Better Auth library installed as a dependency to implement these security best practices. The Skill requires Better Auth and environment variables to configure rate limiting, CSRF protection, and secret management effectively.
