Protect the workspace
Protect the keys to the workspace
Store the credentials people sign in with so that a copy of the database does not become a set of working logins.
Hash passwords with Argon2id, store API keys as hashes shown once, and seal each surface separately.
What this changes for your team.
Passwords are hashed with Argon2id and are never recoverable from storage. An API key is random material shown once at creation; only its hash is kept, with a short hint so keys stay tellable apart in a list. Each surface seals its own sessions, so a compromise of one cannot mint a session for another, and a surface whose secret is unset refuses sign-in instead of falling back to a shared one.
How it works in practice.
- 01
Hash an account password with Argon2id on the server before it is ever stored.
- 02
Show a newly created API key once, then keep only its hash and a short identifying hint.
- 03
Seal product, admin, and partner sessions with separate secrets that cannot substitute for one another.
What you can plan around.
The behaviour you can design against, stated concretely.
Stored password material is an Argon2id hash, not an encrypted or encoded original.
An existing API key cannot be redisplayed because only its hash is retained.
Administrative sign-in is federated and admits existing active administrator accounts only, with no self-service path.
