Security

How we protect your account and data

The specific practices behind Cut.bd's security — not marketing language, the actual mechanisms.

Password hashing

Account passwords are hashed with Argon2id, a memory-hard algorithm designed to resist GPU cracking. We never store passwords in plain text, and we can't recover your original password — only reset it.

Two-factor authentication

Enroll a TOTP authenticator app, a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a hardware key via WebAuthn), or both. Passkeys are phishing-resistant by design — there's no code to intercept.

API key storage

API keys are shown once at creation and stored server-side only as a salted SHA-256 hash. If a key is ever exposed, revoking it takes effect immediately and permanently.

Malicious-link scanning

Destination URLs are checked against Google's Safe Browsing list. Flagged links are surfaced with a warning, and high-traffic links are periodically re-checked in case a destination is compromised after the fact.

Encrypted in transit

All traffic to the dashboard, redirect engine, and public API is served over HTTPS. Session tokens are kept in memory on the client rather than written to persistent browser storage.

Found a security issue?

Report it directly rather than disclosing it publicly — we treat security reports as priority and will respond promptly.
