Best Practices for Handling User Login and Session Security in PHP

[helen9k]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on a small PHP project with user login functionality, and I want to make sure I’m following good practices for security.

• What’s the safest way to store session data?
• Do you recommend using PHP’s default session handling or custom tokens (JWT, etc.)?
• Any tips for preventing session hijacking or “remember me” vulnerabilities?

I’ve seen many different solutions online, but I’d love to hear from developers here about what actually works best in real-world projects.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!
