Password transport contract
Password fields are sent as plain text inside HTTPS requests and are hashed with Argon2id before persistence. Client-side RSA password encryption has been removed.
This is a breaking contract change:
- clients must stop requesting
/api/v1/auth/public-key; - clients must remove RSA encryption and all
isPasswordEncrypted,isCurrentPasswordEncrypted, andisNewPasswordEncryptedfields; - login, user creation, password reset, password change, and first-login completion send their password fields directly over TLS;
- production and staging must terminate TLS 1.2+ at the application or a trusted ingress/load balancer and redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
Applications generated by the framework enable HTTPS redirection and HSTS outside Development. RequireHttpsMetadata remains enabled for JWT authentication metadata. Network-level TLS must additionally be validated in staging with DAST and an SSL scan.
