Key Cursor security practices: enable database security, use environment variables for secrets, add security headers, and scan before launch.
Follow these Cursor security best practices:
**1. Database Security** Enable and configure Row Level Security (Supabase) or Security Rules (Firebase). Test by querying as an unauthenticated user.
**2. Secret Management** Never hardcode API keys. Use environment variables and keep secrets server-side only.
**3. Authentication Hardening** - Require email verification - Set minimum password requirements - Implement rate limiting
**4. Security Headers** Configure CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and other headers in your hosting platform.
**5. Regular Scanning** Use VAS to scan your app before launch and after major changes.

“There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”
“It's not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.”
