email-and-password-best-practices

To configure email verification in Better Auth, you enforce verification during sign-up and optionally on sign-in. This ensures valid user addresses by sending verification emails automatically when onboarding new users.

The best way to set up secure password reset flows is by defining minimum and maximum password lengths and enabling recovery workflows. This allows users to securely regain access if they forget their credentials.

Yes, you can customize password hashing algorithms and migrate to stronger ones. The configuration supports default hashing with options to customize and migrate algorithms as needed for enhanced security.

Enforcing email verification on sign-in, not just sign-up, ensures only users with valid addresses access accounts. This optional configuration protects against fake registrations and secures user sign-in processes.

This email and password authentication setup is compatible with Better Auth migration tooling. It ensures configurations for hashing policies and verification flows align with the migration framework.

Password policies protect user accounts by enforcing minimum and maximum password lengths during authentication. Defining these constraints prevents weak credentials and secures the sign-in process.
