validating-authentication-implementations

## Overview This skill allows Claude to assess the security of authentication mechanisms in a system or application. It provides a detailed report highlighting potential vulnerabilities and offering recommendations for improvement based on established security principles. ## How It Works 1. **Initiate Validation**: Upon receiving a trigger phrase, the skill activates the `authentication-validator` plugin. 2. **Analyze Authentication Methods**: The plugin examines the implemented authentication methods, such as JWT, OAuth, session-based, or API keys. 3. **Generate Security Report**: The plugin generates a comprehensive report outlining potential vulnerabilities and recommended fixes related to password security, session management, token security (JWT), multi-factor authentication, and account security. ## When to Use This Skill This skill activates when you need to: - Assess the security of an application's authentication implementation. - Identify vulnerabilities in password policies and session management. - Evaluate the security of JWT tokens and MFA implementation. - Ensure compliance with security best practices and industry standards. ## Examples ### Example 1: Assessing JWT Security User request: "validate authentication for jwt implementation" The skill will: 1. Activate the `authentication-validator` plugin. 2. Analyze the JWT implementation, checking for strong signing algorithms, proper expiration claims, and audience/issuer validation. 3.
