Argon2ID Password Hashing Secure Token Generation CSRF Token Validation HTTPS + Secure Headers

PHP

<?php
// Secure password hash using Argon2ID
$hash = password_hash($userPassword, PASSWORD_ARGON2ID, [
  'memory_cost' => 1<<17, // 128 MB
  'time_cost' => 4,
  'threads' => 3,
]);

// Generate secure 64-char token
$token = bin2hex(random_bytes(32));
