SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexity of implementing secure, production-ready email and password authentication flows, including verification, password resets, and custom hashing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication Security: Configure email verification requirements and password reset flows with built-in timing attack protections.
  • Customizable Security Policies: Define password length constraints, session revocation logic, and custom hashing algorithms like Argon2id.
  • Use Case: Use this when building a user sign-up and login system where you need to enforce strict email verification and secure password management using the Better Auth library.

Quick Start

Configure the Better Auth email and password settings by defining the email verification and password reset functions in your authentication initialization file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure email verification and password reset flows in Better Auth?

Configure Better Auth email verification and password reset flows by defining the respective functions in your authentication initialization file. This setup enforces strict email verification requirements and secure password management policies for user sign-up.

Can I use a custom hashing algorithm like Argon2id for password hashing with Better Auth?

Yes, you can use custom hashing algorithms like Argon2id for password hashing with Better Auth. This allows you to define customizable security policies including password length constraints and specific hashing algorithms for credential storage.

How do I enforce strict password length constraints and session revocation logic?

Enforce strict password length constraints and session revocation logic by applying customizable security policies within your Better Auth configuration. This ensures robust authentication security and proper session invalidation across your web application.

What do I need to set up secure token handling for email and password authentication?

Secure token handling for email and password authentication requires integration with email providers and server-side environment configuration. This ensures secure token delivery and verification for password resets and email confirmations.

Does Better Auth provide built-in timing attack protections for credential authentication?

Yes, Better Auth provides built-in timing attack protections for credential authentication. These protections are applied automatically when you configure the email and password authentication workflows, securing the login and verification processes.
