Best Practices

Security Considerations

• Never log passwords: Avoid logging password values in development or production
• Use HTTPS: Always transmit passwords over secure connections
• Implement rate limiting: Protect against brute force attacks
• Hash passwords: Use proper password hashing on the server side

UX Recommendations

• Clear requirements: Use the Strong Password variant for registration forms
• Progressive disclosure: Show validation only after user starts typing
• Helpful feedback: Provide clear, actionable validation messages
• Consistent placement: Keep password fields in expected locations

Form Integration

• Proper autocomplete: Use autoComplete="current-password" for login, autoComplete="new-password" for registration
• Validation timing: Validate on blur or after user stops typing, not on every keystroke
• Error handling: Provide clear error messages for failed validation
