Build secure web apps

ASP.NET provides a built-in user database with support for multi-factor authentication and external authentication with Google, Twitter, and more.

ASP.NET supports industry standard authentication protocols. Built-in features help protect your apps against cross-site scripting (XSS) and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).

Dynamically generate HTML forms based on your strongly typed data model. Declaratively define validation rules, using C# attributes, which are applied on the client and server.
