Authentication Security

How Kaana keeps your account secure.

Login Security

Secure Authentication

Kaana uses Auth0, an industry-leading authentication platform:

• Enterprise-grade security

• Regular security audits

• Compliance certifications

Password Requirements

Strong passwords are required:

• Minimum 8 characters

• Mix of letters, numbers, and symbols recommended

• Common passwords blocked

• Breach detection (warns if password found in data breaches)

Password Storage

Your password is never stored in plain text:

• Hashed using secure algorithms

• Salted to prevent rainbow table attacks

• We cannot see or retrieve your password
