Dev Log #025 — Account Security Comes First

staffDec 17, 2025

Before crimes, vehicles, cities, or syndicates can matter, Firetorn needs secure account handling.

This week I focused on planning how user accounts should be created, authenticated, stored, and protected.

Security cannot be treated as something added later.

Password hashing, session handling, validation, access control, and safe database queries all need to be part of the foundation from the beginning.

Browser games may look simple on the surface, but they still need serious protection behind the scenes.

If players are going to invest time into Firetorn, the system needs to respect that investment.
