Security Features

Rate Limiting

All endpoints are protected with rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.

Security Event Logging

All authentication events are logged with IP address and user agent:

User login (success/failure)
User registration
User logout
Password reset requests
Password reset completion

Custom Exceptions

Structured error responses with error codes for programmatic handling:

INVALID_CREDENTIALS
USER_NOT_FOUND
INVALID_TOKEN
PASSWORD_RESET_CODE_EXPIRED
PASSWORD_RESET_CODE_INVALID
PASSWORD_RESET_TOO_MANY_ATTEMPTS
RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED

Testing

# Run all tests
composer test

# Run without coverage
vendor/bin/phpunit --no-coverage

The package includes a comprehensive test suite:

✅ Unit tests for services (7/7 passing)
✅ Rate limiting tests (2/2 passing)
⚠️ Feature tests for API endpoints (3/14 passing)
✅ Password reset service tests (7/7 passing)

Test Results: 10/21 passing (48% coverage)

The failing tests require exception handler registration in the test environment. See Testing Guide for details and how to contribute fixes.

Advanced Usage

Listening to Security Events

// In your EventServiceProvider
use RaDevs\JwtAuth\Events\UserLoggedIn;

protected $listen = [
    UserLoggedIn::class => [
        SendLoginNotification::class,
        UpdateLastLoginTimestamp::class,
    ],
];

Custom Error Handling

// Frontend example
try {
  await api.post('/auth/login', credentials);
} catch (error) {
  const errorCode = error.response?.data?.data?.error_code;

  switch (errorCode) {
    case 'INVALID_CREDENTIALS':
      showError('Invalid email or password');
      break;
    case 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED':
      showError('Too many attempts. Please try again later');
      break;
    default:
      showError('An error occurred');
  }
}
