What are some common authentication mistakes in Go?

What are some common authentication mistakes in Go?

Some common mistakes include not using secure password hashing, failing to validate user input, and improper session management.

Can you explain why secure password hashing is important?

Secure password hashing protects user passwords from being easily compromised. It makes it difficult for attackers to retrieve the original password even if they access the hashed version.

What libraries do you recommend for secure password hashing in Go?

I recommend using the 'bcrypt' package, which is widely used and provides a strong hashing algorithm.

How can I ensure proper session management in my Go application?

You can ensure proper session management by using secure cookies, implementing session expiration, and regularly rotating session tokens.
