How do I trigger an authentication check?

You can activate the skill by asking Claude to 'validate authentication,' 'perform an authcheck,' or 'check session security' within your project environment.

Can this skill help me fix security vulnerabilities?

Yes, in addition to identifying vulnerabilities, the skill provides specific recommendations and can assist in rewriting configurations or code to implement security best practices like bcrypt hashing or secure cookie attributes.

What authentication methods does this skill support?

The Authentication Validator supports a variety of industry-standard methods including JSON Web Tokens (JWT), OAuth 2.0, session-based cookies, and API key authentication.

Does this skill check for compliance standards?

It assesses your implementation against industry-standard security principles and best practices, which are foundational for meeting various compliance requirements such as SOC2 or OWASP standards.

Security & Testing

Validates authentication implementations against security best practices and industry standards to identify vulnerabilities.

About

The Authentication Validator skill empowers Claude to perform comprehensive security audits of application authentication mechanisms. It analyzes various protocols including JWT, OAuth, session-based systems, and API keys to detect risks such as weak signing algorithms, improper cookie attributes, or insufficient MFA enforcement. By scanning your codebase and configurations, it generates detailed reports with actionable remediation steps to ensure your system remains resilient against unauthorized access and common exploits.
