Many developers build login pages. Few build secure systems for real users.
Basic auth stops at login and hashing. Production apps need more.
You need these features:
- Session management
- Access and refresh tokens
- Token rotation
- OTP verification
- Password resets
- Device logout
I used JWT access tokens. These are short. Refresh tokens keep you logged in. This keeps your account safe.
I used token rotation. The system kills the old token. It gives you a new one. This stops replay attacks.
I added OTP for account activation and recovery. This adds security without slowing you down.
You need session control. You see all active sessions. You log out of one device. You log out of all devices. This protects your account if a device is lost.
Security is a set of small choices. Auth is infrastructure.
A login page takes hours. A secure system takes planning. This effort builds a strong foundation.
What auth features do you use for production?
