Security Testing: User Login Scenarios

*Security Testing Overview * Security testing encompasses many areas and utilizes a variety of tools. **AppScan **is the most comprehensive, covering nearly all security vulnerabilities and providing detailed security audit reports. User Login Security: A. Password Issues Verify if user passwords stored in the backend are encrypted . Verify if passwords are encrypted during network transmission(e.g., using HTTPS/TLS). Verify password expiration policies and ensure the system prompts users to change passwords upon expiry. Verify if the password input field supports copying and pasting (often disabled for higher security). Validate password complexity and strength. B. User Authentication & Session Management Forced Browsing / Unauthorized Access: Verify if entering a post-login URL directly in the address bar redirects the user back to the login page. Sensitive Data in Source Code: Ensure that passwords entered in the input field are not visible in the page source code(View Source).
