email-and-password-best-practices

Secure password reset flows in Better Auth require timing attack prevention and robust token security to protect user credentials during the recovery process. This Skill provides configuration examples and best practices to enforce these mechanisms.

Configuring email verification requires setting the emailVerification.sendVerificationEmail option to your email sending function. This enforces verification upon registration to successfully block fake sign-ups.

For secure user authentication password hashing, you should use strong algorithms like scrypt or Argon2id. This Skill details how to configure these specific hashing algorithms to protect stored credentials.

Better Auth handles token security by applying robust protections during password resets and session management. This Skill guides configuring session revocation to ensure compromised user authentication systems are secured.

Yes, you can prevent timing attacks during the email and password authentication process by implementing specific password reset flow configurations. This Skill provides the necessary best practices to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
