SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you secure and streamline email/password authentication by adding verification, password reset, and hashing best practices for Better Auth-based apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Email verification: Configure verification emails and require verified addresses before sign-in.
  • Password recovery: Set up reset-link delivery, reset token expiry, and session revocation after password changes.
  • Password security: Enforce password length rules and swap in custom hashing algorithms such as Argon2id.
  • Use Case: A SaaS team can use this Skill to launch a safer onboarding flow where new users verify their email, reset forgotten passwords securely, and authenticate with a stronger hashing strategy.

Quick Start

Enable Better Auth email/password login, configure verification and reset callbacks, and then test sign-up and password recovery flows end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions about email-and-password-best-practices

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure email verification for Better Auth sign-up flows?▼

Configure email verification in Better Auth by setting up verification email handlers and requiring verified addresses before sign-in. This ensures new users validate their email ownership during the onboarding flow.

What is the best way to implement password reset and session revocation?▼

Implement password reset by configuring reset-link delivery and reset token expiry. You should also enforce session revocation controls after password changes to invalidate active sessions and secure account recovery workflows.

Can I use Argon2id for password hashing with Better Auth?▼

Yes, Better Auth supports pluggable hashing functions for secure authentication. You can swap the default algorithm and configure custom hashing strategies like Argon2id to strengthen password security.

How do I enforce password length rules and security policies?▼

Enforce password length rules and security policies directly within your Better Auth configuration. This allows you to define strict password requirements and apply hashing best practices across login and sign-up workflows.

Does Better Auth require email verification before login?▼

Better Auth can require verified email addresses before sign-in. By configuring verification email handlers and callbacks, you block unverified users from authenticating until they confirm their email.
