Learn TypeAuth’s authentication system. Explore token management, rate limiting, and access control features to secure your API endpoints effectively.
Authentication Profiles
Authentication profiles are central to TypeAuth’s security model, defining how applications and their tokens handle authentication, rate limiting, and access control. These profiles act as reusable configuration templates that can be attached to multiple applications, ensuring consistent security policies across your API ecosystem.
