Authentication Best Practices

Implement these security measures to protect user credentials:

npm install bcrypt
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
const saltRounds = 10;

bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {
  db.saveHash(hash); // Store hashed password in DB
});

Key Recommendations

  • Use PBKDF2 or bcrypt for password storage
  • Enforce MFA for admin accounts
  • Implement rate-limiting for login attempts
  • Use cryptographically secure JWT implementations
