email-and-password-best-practices

To set up secure email and password authentication, you configure automated email verification upon sign-up, enforce password policies, and implement secure password reset mechanisms with customizable token expiration.

Email verification works by automatically sending a verification email to a user upon sign-up. You enable this feature by activating the sendVerificationEmail option within the emailVerification settings.

You can customize the hashing algorithm for password security. This skill supports robust password policies that allow you to choose secure hashing algorithms like scrypt or Argon2id for credential management.

The best way to implement a secure password reset process is to use mechanisms with customizable token expiration. This ensures users can securely recover forgotten credentials without compromising system security.

You enforce password policies by defining minimum and maximum password lengths within the configuration. This ensures all user credentials meet your specific security requirements during sign-up and resets.
