🔐 Password Security – Tips for Developers 👨💻
1. Hash passwords properly
- Use strong hashing algorithms like
2. Always use a salt
- A unique salt per password protects against rainbow table attacks.
3. Limit login attempts
- Implement rate-limiting or CAPTCHA to prevent brute-force attacks.
4. Add Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Use SMS, authenticator apps, or email-based 2FA for extra protection.
5. Secure password reset flows
- Use one-time secure tokens with short expiry time for password resets.
6. Enforce strong password policies
Require length + complexity (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols).
✅ Security starts in your codebase.
