+- Implement strong cryptography, enforce HTTPS with HSTS, enable certificate pinning,
+and provide user privacy features to protect data and anonymity.
+- Use strong, up-to-date cryptographic algorithms for data in transit and at rest; securely hash passwords with established libraries.
+- Enforce HTTPS exclusively and implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
+- Implement certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks even if CAs are compromised.
+- Minimize IP address leakage by blocking third-party external content loading where feasible.
+- Maintain transparency by informing users about privacy limitations and data handling policies.
+- Implement privacy-focused audit trails and access logging.
+- Return "Invalid username or password" to prevent account enumeration
+- Use Argon2 or bcrypt with unique salts per user
+- Store sessions server-side with cryptographically random IDs
