# Session & 2FA Security Improvements ## Date: 2025-01-09 ## Summary Fixed authentication issues with sessions and 2FA endpoints, and added security improvements for session management. --- ## ๐Ÿ”ง Fixes Applied ### 1. **Route Registration Issue - RESOLVED** โœ… **Problem:** Frontend was calling `/api/user/sessions` but backend routes were registered at `/user/sessions` **Solution:** - Registered all routes with `/api` prefix on backend to match frontend expectations - Auth routes registered twice: `/auth/*` for Steam OAuth and `/api/auth/*` for frontend - Routes now properly accessible: - โœ… `/api/user/sessions` - โœ… `/api/user/2fa/setup` - โœ… `/api/auth/me` - โœ… `/auth/steam` (for external OAuth) **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/index.js` - Updated route registration --- ### 2. **Session Management Improvements** ๐Ÿ”’ #### A. Allow Revoking Current Session **Previous:** Could not revoke the current session (X button was hidden) **New Features:** - โœ… Can now revoke ANY session including the current one - โš ๏ธ Confirmation prompt when revoking current session - ๐Ÿšช Automatically logs out after revoking current session - ๐Ÿ”„ Redirects to home page after logout #### B. Visual Security Warnings **New:** Sessions inactive for 7+ days are flagged as "Old Session" - ๐ŸŸก Yellow border on old sessions - โš ๏ธ Warning badge displayed - ๐Ÿ’ก Security tip shown: "If you don't recognize it, revoke it immediately" #### C. Bulk Session Revocation **New Actions:** 1. **"Revoke Old (X)"** button - Revokes all sessions inactive for 7+ days 2. **"Revoke All Others"** button - Revokes all sessions except current one **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/frontend/src/views/ProfilePage.vue` --- ### 3. **2FA Setup Flow Fix** ๐Ÿ” **Problem:** Clicking "Verify & Enable" without calling `/2fa/setup` first would fail **Solution:** - Renamed `setup2FA()` to `start2FASetup()` for clarity - Added check in `verify2FA()` to ensure setup was called first - If QR code/secret is missing, automatically calls setup endpoint - Shows error message: "Please start 2FA setup first" **Flow:** 1. Click "Enable 2FA" โ†’ Calls `/api/user/2fa/setup` โ†’ Shows QR code 2. Scan QR code with authenticator app 3. Enter 6-digit code 4. Click "Verify & Enable" โ†’ Calls `/api/user/2fa/verify` โ†’ Enables 2FA **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/frontend/src/views/ProfilePage.vue` --- ### 4. **Debug & Logging Improvements** ๐Ÿ› **Added:** - Request logging for all `/user/*` and `/auth/*` routes (dev only) - Enhanced `/api/auth/debug-cookies` endpoint with manual cookie parsing - Logs show: - Incoming request URL and method - Cookies present (by name) - Has accessToken/refreshToken - Origin and Host headers **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/index.js` - Added onRequest hook - `TurboTrades/middleware/auth.js` - Added verbose debug logging - `TurboTrades/routes/auth.js` - Enhanced debug endpoint --- ### 5. **CORS Configuration Improvements** ๐ŸŒ **Updated:** - Added `Cookie` to allowed headers - Added `Set-Cookie` to exposed headers - Explicitly set `credentials: true` - Better origin handling for localhost development **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/index.js` - Updated CORS config --- ### 6. **Cookie Plugin Configuration** ๐Ÿช **Updated:** - Added explicit parse options - Set `hook: "onRequest"` to parse cookies on every request - Improved cookie handling reliability **Files Changed:** - `TurboTrades/index.js` - Updated cookie plugin registration --- ## ๐Ÿ“Š Session Security Features ### Visual Indicators - ๐ŸŸข **Current Session** - Green "Current" badge - ๐ŸŸก **Old Session** - Yellow "Old Session" badge + warning border - ๐Ÿ”ด **Revoke Button** - Always visible for all sessions ### Security Metrics - Sessions flagged as "old" if inactive for 7+ days - Warning message on old sessions - Quick action buttons for bulk revocation ### Session Information Displayed - Browser and Operating System - Device type (Desktop/Mobile/Tablet) - IP Address - Last activity timestamp - Current session indicator --- ## ๐Ÿงช Testing ### Test Routes Work: ```bash # Health check curl http://localhost:3000/api/health # Debug cookies (after login) curl http://localhost:5173/api/auth/debug-cookies # Sessions (with auth) curl http://localhost:3000/api/user/sessions -H "Cookie: accessToken=..." # 2FA setup (with auth) curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/user/2fa/setup -H "Cookie: accessToken=..." -d "{}" ``` ### Diagnostic Page Visit: **http://localhost:5173/diagnostic** - Automated testing of all auth endpoints - Cookie verification - Visual status indicators - Troubleshooting suggestions --- ## ๐ŸŽฏ User Impact ### Before - โŒ Sessions endpoint returned 404 - โŒ 2FA setup endpoint returned 404 - โŒ Could not revoke current session - โŒ No warning for old sessions - โŒ Had to revoke sessions one by one ### After - โœ… All endpoints work correctly - โœ… Can revoke any session including current - โœ… Visual warnings for potentially hijacked sessions - โœ… Bulk actions for session cleanup - โœ… Better 2FA setup flow with error handling - โœ… Security-focused UI with clear warnings --- ## ๐Ÿ“ Notes ### Security Considerations 1. **Session Hijacking Prevention:** Users can now easily identify and revoke suspicious sessions 2. **Current Session Revocation:** Useful if user suspects their current device is compromised 3. **Old Session Cleanup:** Helps maintain account security by removing stale sessions 4. **2FA Enforcement:** Improved flow makes it easier for users to enable 2FA ### Future Improvements - [ ] Add email notifications when new sessions are created - [ ] Show session location using IP geolocation - [ ] Add "Remember this device" feature - [ ] Implement session limits (e.g., max 10 active sessions) - [ ] Add session activity logs (what actions were performed) --- ## ๐Ÿ”— Related Files ### Frontend - `frontend/src/views/ProfilePage.vue` - Main session/2FA UI - `frontend/src/views/DiagnosticPage.vue` - Debug/test page - `frontend/src/utils/axios.js` - HTTP client config - `frontend/vite.config.js` - Proxy configuration ### Backend - `index.js` - Route registration and CORS - `routes/auth.js` - Authentication routes - `routes/user.js` - User/session/2FA routes - `middleware/auth.js` - Auth middleware - `models/Session.js` - Session data model ### Documentation - `QUICK_FIX.md` - Quick troubleshooting guide - `TROUBLESHOOTING_AUTH.md` - Comprehensive auth guide - `BROWSER_DIAGNOSTIC.md` - Browser console tests - `test-auth.js` - Backend test script --- ## โœ… Verification Checklist - [x] Backend routes registered correctly - [x] Sessions endpoint returns data - [x] 2FA setup endpoint works - [x] Can revoke non-current sessions - [x] Can revoke current session (with confirmation) - [x] Old sessions are flagged visually - [x] Bulk revoke old sessions works - [x] Bulk revoke all others works - [x] 2FA setup flow is robust - [x] Debug logging works - [x] CORS configuration allows credentials - [x] Cookies are parsed correctly - [x] Diagnostic page shows all tests passing --- **Status:** โœ… **All Issues Resolved** **Tested:** โœ… **All Features Working** **Documentation:** โœ… **Complete**
