Promotes the use of passwordless sign-in mechanisms
Designed to be secure by default and encourage best practices for safeguarding user data
Uses Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Tokens on POST routes (sign in, sign out)
Default cookie policy aims for the most restrictive policy appropriate for each cookie

Advanced configuration allows you to define your routines to handle controlling what accounts are allowed to sign in, for encoding and decoding JSON Web Tokens and to set custom cookie security policies and session properties, so you can control who can sign in and how often sessions have to be re-validated.

TypeScript

Auth.js libraries are written with type safety in mind. Check out the docs for more information.
