Replit auth

Remember-Me Token Security Issue on Replit

Remember-me tokens are exposed in logs or storage. Session tokens compromise account security if leaked.

Persistent authentication tokens require secure storage and rotation.

Common Causes

  1. Tokens stored in plain text or weak hash
  2. Tokens logged in debug output
  3. Token expiration too long (years instead of days)
  4. No token rotation on sensitive operations
  5. Same token across multiple devices

How to Fix It

For Spring Security, use JDBC persistent remember-me tokens with unique device IDs. Hash tokens with bcrypt. Set expiration to 2-4 weeks max. Invalidate token on logout and password change. Don't log token values. Use rotating tokens: issue new token on each use, invalidate old ones.

Building & debugging software products is what I've spent my time on for forever Caio Rodrigues Caio Rodrigues I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures. I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations. Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization. I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
