Layered defenses
Effective login security combines: strong credentials, multi-factor authentication (prefer TOTP/hardware keys), session scoping, and continuous monitoring for anomalous behavior.
Session & token practices
- Short-lived tokens with refresh flows reduce exposure.
- Device-binding and origin scoping limit token theft impact.
- Logout/revoke flows should be fast and visible to the user.
