RestingOwl is a platform (under development and released soon) that provides secure-by-default open-source packages designed to align with OWASP best practices (extended to other standards later) and prevent common security mistakes. owlauth, its first package, is an npm package for authentication. It supports signup, login, password management, passwordless magic links, rejecting weak passwords, breach detection, safe audit logging, and many more (refer to the NPM organization). More to come.

We’re starting by aligning with OWASP standards as the first step, and we plan to expand to other...
