Want to go from zero working #infosec knowledge to a reasonable amount in the shortest time possible? Read NIST's "SP 800-63-3: Digital Identity Guidelines" for free at https://www.nist.gov/itl/tig/projects/special-publication-800-63

It's an excellent crash course on how to write a decently secure user login system. It's readable. It's largely counterintuitive. It explains *why* they recommend each specific piece of advice.

Also, when you see someone making a bad choice later, you have the authority to say "no, we shouldn't do this."

honestly I love it when I go to an event or whatever and US recruiters try totell me about their 'opportunity' and go "oh we have great benefits and, how much are you paid currently? we can offer you like 20% on top of that, easy!" and I go "oh, yeah, great benefits? so I'm guessing you could match my health insurance and PTO at the very least"
they obviously go "yeah sure" and then I tell them I'm in a french company so I get >5 weeks PTO and no premiums, no minimums healthcare and... oof
