email-and-password-best-practices

Email verification ensures valid user emails during sign-up by sending verification messages. You configure verification email settings, enable the feature, run database migrations, and test the sign-up verification process to validate user credentials securely.

Password reset flows use secure token handling and user notification. You configure reset token generation and token expiry settings, allowing users to safely reset forgotten credentials while maintaining session revocation capabilities for invalidated logins.

Customizable password hashing algorithms support stronger credential security. You can provide custom hash and verify functions to apply specific hashing algorithms, enforcing stronger password policies for user authentication across web applications.

Session revocation is supported as an optional configuration for email/password login. It allows you to invalidate active user sessions during credential changes or security events, ensuring secure session management alongside password reset and verification.

Enforcing password policies involves configuring customizable rules for password security during sign-up and credential updates. This approach ensures users create strong passwords, integrating directly with email/password authentication flows for robust access control.

Database migrations are required to set up email/password authentication. Running the migration creates the necessary schema changes to support verification tokens, password reset flows, and user credential storage before testing sign-up verification.
