--- name: authentication description: > license: MIT --- # Authentication The Boring JavaScript Stack uses **session-based authentication** with multiple sign-in methods. The Ascent templates provide production-ready implementations of password auth, magic links, passkeys, two-factor authentication, password reset, and OAuth — all built on Sails.js actions, helpers, and policies. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Implementing signup and login flows (password or magic link) - Adding passkey (WebAuthn) support with `@simplewebauthn` - Setting up two-factor authentication (TOTP, email codes, backup codes) - Building password reset flows with secure token handling - Integrating OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) via `sails-hook-wish` - Configuring authentication policies (`is-authenticated`, `is-guest`, `has-partially-logged-in`) - Understanding the `req.me` / `req.session.userId` pattern and return URL handling - Working with the User model's auth-related attributes and lifecycle callbacks ## Rules Read individual rule files for detailed explanations and code examples: - [rules/getting-started.md](rules/getting-started.md) - Auth architecture, User model overview, policies, req.me, return URL - [rules/password-auth.md](rules/password-auth.md) - Signup and login flows, password hashing, remember me, validation - [rules/magic-links.md](rules/magic-links.md) - Token generation/hashing, request/verify actions, auto-signup, security - [rules/passkeys.md](rules/passkeys.md) - WebAuthn with @simplewebauthn, registration and authentication flows - [rules/two-factor.md](rules/two-factor.md) - TOTP, email 2FA, backup codes, partial login state, verify-2fa action - [rules/password-reset.md](rules/password-reset.md) - Forgot/reset flow, token lifecycle, email integration, security - [rules/oauth.md](rules/oauth.md) - Wish library, Google/GitHub OAuth, redirect/callback, findOrCreate pattern
