🔒 Secure by Default: How EasyLaunchpad Handles Authentication Flows the Right Way

Security isn’t an afterthought — it’s a foundation.
In the world of SaaS and web applications, the way you handle authentication can make or break your product’s reliability, trustworthiness, and user experience.

That’s why this .NET Core boilerplate — built for real-world SaaS builders and developers — comes with production-ready authentication modules from day one. From email/password login to Google OAuth, and from CAPTCHA protection to password recovery, everything is baked in to help you move fast without cutting corners.

Let’s explore how this boilerplate gets authentication right — and why developers love starting secure.

✅ Ready-to-Use Email & Password Authentication

The classic email + password flow is still the backbone of most modern applications. But implementing it securely takes effort — input validation, hashing, salting, and proper session/token handling.

With our boilerplate:

  • Passwords are securely hashed using recommended cryptographic algorithms.

  • Registration and login flows are already built and tested.

  • Backend validation and error handling are in place.

  • Frontend forms (login/register/forgot password) are clean, customizable, and responsive.

No need to waste time building the basics — just plug in your custom logic or extend it if needed.

🌐 Google OAuth Integration — Done

Single Sign-On (SSO) via Google is a must-have for any app targeting modern users or B2B clients.

We’ve integrated Google OAuth using best practices for .NET Core:

  • Secure token exchange and validation

  • Seamless redirect flows

  • User provisioning and mapping to your internal user system

Whether you’re offering user sign-up convenience or internal tools for Google Workspace teams, this is ready from the start.

🤖 CAPTCHA Support to Prevent Abuse

One of the biggest oversights in most SaaS MVPs is leaving forms unprotected against spam or brute-force attempts.

Our boilerplate includes CAPTCHA support — integrated and customizable — to protect your login, signup, and password reset endpoints.

Google reCAPTCHA or custom CAPTCHA options
✅ Prevents bot abuse and brute-force attacks
✅ Easily toggle on/off or change CAPTCHA provider

Security shouldn’t slow you down — and now, it doesn’t have to.

🔐 Password Reset Flow — Ready and Secure

Let’s face it: users forget passwords. But building a secure, tokenized password reset flow is tedious and error-prone.

With our boilerplate:

  • Password reset tokens are securely generated and time-limited

  • Emails are sent via the integrated DotLiquid email engine

  • Users can reset their password safely, without exposing security gaps

This isn’t just functional — it’s production-ready and secure.

🧠 Built on Best Practices, So You Can Focus on Your Features

Every authentication feature in this boilerplate is:

  • Built using ASP.NET Core Identity best practices

  • Backed by role-based access control

  • Designed for extensibility and modular growth

Need to add GitHub login later?
No problem.
Want to enforce 2FA?
The structure supports it.

Your team won’t be rewriting boilerplate — you’ll be shipping product.

🧪 Dev-Tested and Production-Proven

Security isn’t just code — it’s confidence. That’s why every authentication flow is tested, validated, and structured for clarity.

No hidden security holes.
No fragile workarounds.
Use it as-is, or extend it confidently as your SaaS grows.

🚀 TL;DR: Secure From Day One

You get:

  • 🔐 Email/password login

  • 🌐 Google OAuth integration

  • 🤖 CAPTCHA protection

  • 🔁 Password reset flow

  • ✅ All wired, working, and secure by default

If you’re tired of rebuilding auth or worrying about doing it right, this boilerplate gives you peace of mind and a head start — so you can launch, scale, and sell faster.
